LONDON: Roald Dahl’s famous children’s books including “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” and “Matilda” will be published uncensored later this year, the publisher Puffin said on Friday, bowing to pressure after a public outcry over modernised versions.
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak was among those to have criticised the “airbrushing” of literature on Monday after a report in The Daily Telegraph showed 2022 versions of the children’s books had removed or changed references to gender, race and physical appearance to avoid causing offence.
