Changes to new editions of Roald Dahl books have readers up in arms; NPR, February 21, 2023

Jaclyn Diaz, NPR ; Changes to new editions of Roald Dahl books have readers up in arms

"New editions of legendary works by British author Roald Dahl are being edited to remove words that could be deemed offensive to some readers, according to the late writer's company.

Dahl wrote such books as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, James and the Giant Peach and Fantastic Mr. Fox...

Puffin and The Roald Dahl Story Company, which manages the copyrights of Dahl's books and works with publishers, didn't respond to NPR's requests for comment."
