The latest editions of Roald Dahl's famous children's books are being re-written to remove instances of inappropriate and dated language, with references to race, weight, and gender among those being altered.
The edits have come from a review process, which has been ongoing since 2020, according to The Roald Dahl Story Company. They are said to only be "small and carefully considered" changes.
And while many have praised these changes - which reportedly include removing the word "fat" from every book - others have claimed the classics shouldn't be messed with, including Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, who today said publishers shouldn't "gobblefunk around with words".
