'Queen of Crime' Agatha Christie is best known for her detective novels, particularly Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple series. The English writer wrote between 1920 to 1976, and her works are widely read across the world even today. Now news is that several of her novels are edited to remove possibly offensive language, particularly insults and remarks regarding ethnicity, to make them more relevant to modern readers.
The edits can be seen in the new Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple series which are published by HarperCollins. The reason: the edits are made to remove derogatory remarks against specific ethnicity and to make the works more inclusive.
