HarperCollins to stop selling all remaining David Walliams books

  • Book publisher HarperCollins is phasing out all remaining copies of David Walliams’s backlist titles across print, e-book, and audio formats.
  • The decision follows the publisher's announcement last year that it would stop publishing new works by the children’s author and comedian.
  • HarperCollins severed ties with Walliams following allegations concerning inappropriate behaviour towards young women.
  • Walliams has strongly denied all claims of inappropriate conduct and previously stated he was not informed of any internal investigation by the publisher.
  • According to trade publication The Bookseller, existing stock currently in bookshops and online platforms will be gradually phased out.
