Roald Dahl’s Children’s Books to Republish With Offensive Language Removed Story:
A spokesperson for the Roald Dahl Story Company said of the changes in a statement, “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. Our guiding principle throughout has been to maintain the storylines, characters, and the irreverence and sharp-edged spirit of the original text. Any changes made have been small and carefully considered.
”, publishers Puffin hired sensitivity readers — “a collective for people who are passionate about inclusion and accessibility in children’s literature,” Puffin said — to comb through Dahl’s children’s books , with those readers finding over 100 edits, ranging from tweaking or removing a word or two to rewriting entire couplets.
