...are but two of an impressive list of famous authors who have had their books banned at some time, in various parts of the world and for various reasons.
Gone With the Wind (Margaret Mitchell) and Tom Sawyer (Mark Twain) as well as Anna Sewell's Black Beauty, Charles Darwin's Origin of Species and Shakespear's The Merchant of Venice have at one time been forbidden reading. We can also add to the list the Holy Bible and the Quran. Copies of all these books are a part of this collection.
We invite you to stop by the display case outside the Bullis Room to see some of the Bullis books that were banned. Perhaps you'll go away with an enhanced appreciation of these books. (We did.)
