*chuckles* I feel actually somewhat relieved that my mother had no familiarity with most of these books, and so I didn't read them at any time.
I first discovered what a golliwog was when reading, of all things, Alan Moore's "The Black Dossier" last year! I closed the book and said, "what the hell is that doll?" and then looked it up.
I had never heard the term before that. Odd how so many people had, and I was 28 when I first encountered it. :x
