Subversive Children’s Books

The humor of this piece snuck up on me and now I cannot stop laughing about the line:

L’Engle also invaded Poland in 1939.

Cannot. Stop. Laughing.

Lots of funny stuff there (“godfather to Joseph Stalin” hahaha) but for some reason that one L’Engle line has completely slayed me.
