Children's Classics Little Women by Louisa May Alcott & The Hobbit by J R R Tolkien Are Banned in Kuwait




























Un-flipping believable!

Please give Max of Better Books and Café Kuwait a medal for having to deal with this sort of stuff on a daily basis.

Better Books Second hand Bookstore is in Salmiya behind Al Rashed Hospital,
Amman Street. Best to call ahead first on  6663 7351 in case she's barricaded herself in ;OD

    1. I wish it was a joke. My 10 year old has The Hobbit. Does this make her a criminal? Barmy!
