The Classics — Updated and Improved

Editor’s Note: The Daily Telegraph reports that the children’s books of the great author Roald Dahl, who gave us Fantastic Mr. Fox and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, among other classics, are being reedited.

“Language related to weight, mental health, violence, gender and race has been cut and rewritten,” the paper writes. The work is being done in conjunction with an outfit called Inclusive Minds that describes itself as “a collective for people who are passionate about inclusion and accessibility in children’s literature.”
