Propaganda: Bösche ‘Jenny Lives With Eric and Martin’ (1983)

Danish attitudes to children produced books that upset other European cultures.

Before Jenny Lives with Eric and Martin was published in 1983, a member of parliament called Geoffrey Dickens called bookshops to boycott it.

In 1988, a co-operative in Cork city called the Quay Co-Cop ran a bookshop that stocked what they said was the ‘most comprehensive and up-to-date selection of lesbian and gay titles in Ireland’.
