No, you are still relatively sane.  I read some of the Famous Five series
when I was a kid, living in England.  The name was Enid Blyton.  I was
rooting around in my parent's basement a few years ago and came across a
few of these books.  What crap!  I wish I had just spent my time on
multiple re-readings of Lord of the Rings and Dune.  Still, it was ok
stuff at the time.
