These new editions have been edited for less offensive and more inclusive language, allowing for a new generation of readers to enjoy the classic stories without the outdated language and attitudes of the original versions.<\/p>\n<p>The books that have been edited include Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The BFG, The Witches, Fantastic Mr. Fox, and Matilda. The changes made to the texts are subtle but meaningful, and they help to ensure that readers of all ages can appreciate the stories without being exposed to potentially offensive language. For example, the word \u201cOompa-Loompa\u201d has been removed from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, as it could be seen as a racial slur. Similarly, the word \u201cgypsy\u201d has been removed from The Witches, as it is a term that many find offensive.<\/p>\n<p>The new editions of these books are an important step towards making literature more inclusive and accessible to everyone. By removing outdated language and attitudes, these books can now be enjoyed by a much wider audience, and the stories can be appreciated for their timeless themes of friendship, courage, and resilience.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the language changes, the new editions also feature new illustrations and design elements. The illustrations are bright and vibrant, and they capture the spirit of the stories perfectly. The design elements also reflect the themes of the stories, and they help to bring the stories to life.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the new editions of Roald Dahl&#8217;s classic children&#8217;s books are a welcome change. They allow readers of all ages to enjoy the stories without being exposed to outdated language and attitudes, and they also feature beautiful illustrations and design elements that bring the stories to life. These new editions are sure to be enjoyed by readers of all ages, and they will ensure that Roald Dahl&#8217;s stories remain timeless classics for generations to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2020, Puffin Books announced that they would be releasing new editions of several of the beloved works of children&#8217;s author Roald Dahl.
