It's reported that a number of edits have been made to the latest editions of books such as Charlie And The Chocolate Factory and James And The Giant Peach.
The latest editions of Roald Dahl’s children’s books have been edited to remove language which could be deemed offensive.
Edits reportedly include removing the word “fat” from every book, Augustus Gloop in Charlie And The Chocolate Factory is now described as “enormous” and The Cloud-Men in James And The Giant Peach have become Cloud-People. “When publishing new print runs of books written years ago, it’s not unusual to review the language used alongside updating other details including a book’s cover and page layout.
The review was launched before Netflix bought the rights to Dahl’s entire catalogue of children’s books in 2021.
