[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did anyone catch this in the news? Puffin is censoring Roald Dahl's books:

I am both shocked and not shocked. [/quote]

I agree with Hackett:

[quote]Laura Hackett, a childhood Dahl fan who is now deputy literary editor of London’s Sunday Times newspaper, had a more personal reaction to the news.

“The editors at Puffin should be ashamed of the botched surgery they’ve carried out on some of the finest children’s literature in Britain,” she wrote. “As for me, I’ll be carefully stowing away my old, original copies of Dahl’s stories, so that one day my children can enjoy them in their full, nasty, colorful glory.”[/quote]

Thankfully, I own all Dahl's books in my home library and am pleased to have the originals for my grandchildren.

It’s like saving Christie’s “Ten Little N******” for your grandkids so they get to read that instead of a book titled “And Then There Were None.”[/quote]
