"Fat," "ugly" and "horsey face" will remain in Roald Dahl's children's books in the U.K. after all. After a fierce backlash to proposed changes, Dahl's U.K. publisher announced a "classic collection."
Books by Roald Dahl are being edited to remove words that could be deemed offensive. Dahl wrote Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, James and the Giant Peach and Fantastic Mr. Fox.
Netflix has acquired The Roald Dahl Story Co. (RDSC), which manages the British author's catalogue. "Human beans" just can't get enough, as Dahl's loveable BFG might say.
