Some of the edits to Dahl make no sense and we should be wary of works being edited for personal taste.
Which edited bits make no sense to you Siderite? The ones I’ve seen, I don’t see a problem with them being changed. Some pretty nasty words and phrasing that I wouldn’t welcome young impressionable children picking up and repeating, particularly to other children. Bullying starts early at school, so do mental health issues associated with physical appearance in younger people. Also, it’s Roald Dahl’s books for children, not War and Peace. I don’t have an issue with it within reason. Also, I’m not aware the editing reason is ‘personal taste’.
