But maybe it's time for the kids to do some British classic books for their exams in a couple of years time.
It has been part of the syllabus for at least 20 years and obviously meets the curriculum criteria.
No idea about you, but I am not sure the pupils reading and studying, pay much attention as to whether the book is English, American or Japanese.
In fact when I did it, I had no idea the author was American, having read other stories by British authors set in various parts of the world previous to that (and since).
