The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant. I would love to see it made into a movie... but to do it right it would have to be a big 'en. It's 9 books.

I still have this book.  I used to read it to my son when he was younger - not as much these days.  The illustrations are very nice - simple yet wonderful.
 
A great book! Very fond memories. I have a copy of it at home displayed prominently on my book shelf, along with another Kurt Wiese illustrated book:

It generally wasn't as much an issue that the book or story were racist.  I think the removal or subsequent renaming of that book had more to do with the term "sambo" being widely used as an ethnic slur - though that epithet apparently existed in the US before the book was written.  However, Langston Hughes had spoken out against the book in the 1930's.

The first version is okay, the second is better... v. 3 & 4 have some additional writers and they're probably great too but this one is great even if you don't plan to backpack and even tho the gear is 50 years out of date.
