Roald Dahl’s Novels Overhauled for a New Era

The Telegraph: “Augustus Gloop is not fats, Mrs Twit is not fearfully ugly, and the Oompa-Loompas have gone gender-neutral in new editions of Roald Dahl’s beloved tales.”

“The writer, Puffin, has made lots of of adjustments to the unique textual content, eradicating a lot of Dahl’s vibrant descriptions and making his characters much less grotesque.”

Salman Rushdie: “Roald Dahl was no angel however that is absurd censorship. Puffin Books and the Dahl property needs to be ashamed.”
