Famous children's books written by Roald Dahl have had their latest editions re-written to remove instances of offensive or inappropriate language as part of a review process which has been ongoing since 2020, according to The Roald Dahl Story Company.
The changes, which are said to only be "small and carefully considered" alterations, involve cutting out or re-writing several references to five key areas - weight, mental health, violence, gender, and race.
And while many have praised these changes 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".
