Publisher Puffin has hired a team of sensitivity readers to make massive changes to several of Roald Dahl's children's books in an effort to make them align with the times.
According to The Telegraph, the most notable changes will be made to the physical descriptions of characters that could now be deemed offensive. Where as the character Augustus Gloop in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" was previously described as being "fat," he will now be written as "enormous" in new editions. The use of the word "ugly" to describe a character will also be changed, such as in the case of the character Mrs Twit in "The Twits," who will now be called "beastly" instead.
