Bookborn | OK fine I'm talking about the Roald Dahl book changes @Bookborn | Uploaded March 2023 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
I wasn't planning on talking about how the UK decided to change Roald Dahl's books, but he more I thought about it, the more I had ~feelings about it. In case you missed it, the publisher, Penguin House, recently released a statement on how they were going to publish revised versions of all of Roald Dahl's most famous works. Naturally, there was an uproar. Let's discuss it. I know this is a sensitive topic, so remember to play nice in the comments.
