Roald Dahl classic collection to be released alongside edited version of the author’s classic works
The Roald Dahl Story Company and Puffin Books carried out a review of Dahl’s classics which led to the removal or rewriting of content deemed offensive – including references to weight, mental health, violence, gender and race.But critics including acclaimed author Sir Salman Rushdie and Prime Minister Rishi Sunak later condemned the changes.
‘We’ve listened to the debate over the past week which has reaffirmed the extraordinary power of Roald Dahl’s books and the very real questions around how stories from another era can be kept relevant for each new generation. ‘Roald Dahl once said: “If my books can help children become readers, then I feel I have accomplished something important”. At Puffin, we’ll keep pursuing that ambition for as long as we make books.’
