Roald Dahl

Roald Dahl's children's books are being updated to remove 'controversial' language. References to characters being 'fat' or 'ugly' will be removed from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, and James and the Giant Peach, among others. Book editor and essayist Madison Hamill was initially shocked at the proposed changes, but says some of the edits are reasonable. Madison Hamill says Roald Dahl was 'a man of his time' and some aspects of his work haven't aged well, but removing other aspects go against the author's vision.
