The senseless re-editing of Roald Dahl

Roald Dahl was, in many respects, a horrible man. He was a narcissist, a bully, a liar, an anti-Semite, a tax-dodger, a faithless husband and – if his daughter’s account is to be believed – a cruel and thoughtless father.

None of which has anything whatever to do, it scarcely needs saying, with the content of his books.
