"Literature Suppressed on Social Grounds, Revised Edition" discusses writings that have been banned over the centuries because they offended or merely ignored official truths; challenged widely held assumptions; or contained ideas or language unacceptable to a state, religious institution, or private moral watchdog. The 14 entries new to this edition include the "Captain Underpants" series, "We All Fall Down" by Robert Cormier, and "Heaven" by Margaret Zemach. Also included are updates to the censorship histories of such books as "To Kill a Mockingbird" and "Of Mice and Men".
