Hi, Kathy,
Someone may give you a less anecdotal answer, but my impression is that while the text is much the same,they carry an innocence that keeps them from having the punch for today's readers that they did for those of us who loved them, for more than their worn canvas scent, in the fifties and sixties. What remains, though, is the feeling that these were kids just like them, a delightful message.
