22 February 2023 at 11:48 Gyldendal will not take in all the Roald Dahl changes The publisher Gyldendal says it is out of the question to follow the British publisher who changes Roald Dahl’s books. – We are critical of the scope of the changes that are now intended for the British market, says publishing manager Eva Thesen for children and young people in Gyldendal Litteratur to VG. – We also sense a sense of unease in relation to the development we are seeing. It is out of the question to include all the changes we now see discussed in the British media, says Thesen. A great debate has been created after the British publisher Puffin makes hundreds of changes to Roald Dahl’s books. The purpose is to make the books less offensive. Among other things, words such as “thick” are changed to “enormous”. Several words and characters are also made gender neutral. Gyldendal first stated that the books are also being changed in Norway, but then issued a counter notification that it was uncertain whether they were making changes. Now they have agreed not to follow the British. (NTB)
