And the Winner Is . . .

Regarding “A New Look for Riding Hood� in The Book Trade column by Elizabeth Mehren (The Book Review, July 20).

It appears that the Ministry of Truth from Orwell’s “1984� is being kept alive and well by the likes of Mr. Bragdon. I nominate him for the “First Annual Walt Disney Bowdlerization of Children’s Classics Award.�

Yours in the preservation of our literary heritage.
