Banned Books Online
This is a very interesting article about banned books. The article links to all the mentioned books in full text.
South Africa’s apartheid regime banned a number of classic books; in 1955, for instance, the New York Times reported that Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein was banned there as “indecent, objectionable, or obscene”. At one time, the regime also reportedly banned Anna Sewell’s Black Beauty, a story about a horse.
Black Beuaty was banned in South Africa.
