Teacher Antoinette Lyons, 33, from Bourn, Cambridgeshire, was one of a string of girls abused by paedophile music tutor Brian Davey.

She claims he wrote the recorder-playing guides to "get to children".

Last year the 67-year-old was jailed for 13 years for what Judge Inigo Bing called "the worst case of child abuse possible to imagine".

Mrs Lyons said: "Brian Davey wrote fantastic music books but in my opinion they were written with one aim - to get to children, which is why I find it so hard to accept they are still used with children."

Mrs Lyons, who has waived her right to anonymity as a sex offence victim, wants Manchester-based Music Exchange to stop distributing Davey's self-published titles, including two dedicated to her two eldest children.

Gerald Burns, a director of Music Exchange, said a sticker has been placed in each unsold copy to cover the names of Mrs Lyons' children.

"You can't see through this sticker and once it's on, it's on - if you remove it, you rip the paper," he said.

"We weren't aware the books contained the names of Mrs Lyons' children but, when told, we were happy to cover them."

Mr Burns said there is nothing "untoward" about the books and they were highly regarded by musicians, but said it was unlikely a new order for them would be placed.
