Publisher Backtracks ‘Woke’ Rewrite of Roald Dahl’s Classic Children’s Books

Townhall Reports: Publisher Penguin Random House announced Friday it will continue to publish the original versions of British author Roald Dahl’s classic children’s books after it received backlash for publishing new versions that omitted words and sections deemed to be “offensive.”

Puffin, which is an imprint of Penguin Random House, announced that the original versions of Dahl’s books will be available as The Roald Dahl Classic Collection. These versions will be released alongside the new, “woke” versions.

“Readers will be free to choose which version of Dahl’s stories they prefer,” a statement from the publishing company said.
