Just change his stupid name to Ronald, like I always misremember it. It's not like he's the one even writing it anymore.

James and the Giant Peach was actually a euphemism for eating rear end. Dahl wasn't a fan, but was attempting to pander.

I read it as a kid and didn’t remember any of that. If someone had edited that poo poo out at some point I would never have known it was missing and it would probably be a better book. same. Didn't make it far in that book. Definitely not his strongest work. I don't get the proposed edits. Why replace a reference to Joseph Conrad and Rudyard Kipling?? read matilda to my kid just the other week. Good stuff

Maybe fat shaming is a bad thing and including it in otherwise great books is lame. Who can really say?

When he was a kid, my dad had a copy of Dahl's book, "The Gremlins". He loved the story, about a WWII pilot and the gremlins who constantly work to damage planes, and later became a pilot himself. (He got his private pilot's license before his driver's license, and later became a pilot for the Air Force.) He lamented the fact that the book disappeared at some point. When the reprint came out in 2006, I got him a copy. He loved it, and actually started to cry as he leafed through the pages. When my brother went through his house after he had to enter care for his Alzheimer's, my brother reported the book was on top of a stack next to his bed. It was likely the last thing he read before his mind went. Genesplicer fucked around with this message at 08:30 on Feb 19, 2023 |

How Wizard Master hasn't been snapped up by Cracked or ScreenRant is a mystery to me. Anyway they presumably removed Conrad and Kipling because they also were racist as all get out.
