The original editions of Roald Dahl's books will be published under their Puffin names, according to Penguin, a publishing company.
Alongside updated editions of his wildly popular children's books, the original story books will now be available.
The BFG and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, among other books, have been updated for contemporary readers, according to Dahl's estate earlier this week.
Although phrases like "fat" and "ugly" were deleted, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak insisted that they shouldn't be "airbrushed.".
Sir Salman Rushdie referred to the changes as "censorship," and Philip Pullman, author of His Dark Materials, said Dahl's books "should be allowed to fade away" rather than being altered if readers find them offensive.
The managing director of Penguin, Francesca Dow, stated: "We've listened to the debate over the past week which has reaffirmed the extraordinary power of Roald Dahl's books, and the very real questions around how stories from another era can be kept relevant for each new generation. ".
The decision to continue publishing the original editions, according to Penguin, was made because "we recognize the importance of keeping Dahl's classic texts in print.".
The Roald Dahl Classic Collection, a collection of the author's original children's books, was published, according to Puffin, in order to "keep the texts in print.".
Francesca Dow continued, "We at Puffin have proudly published Roald Dahl's stories in collaboration with the Roald Dahl Story Company for more than 40 years. .
His singular storytelling talent and their mischievous spirit have captured readers' imaginations for many generations. .
In his updated books, Augustus Gloop in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory no longer refers to himself as "fat," and Mrs. Twit in The Twits is no longer described as "ugly and beastly" but only as "beastly.".
The phrase "a weird African language" in The Twits is no longer considered odd in the new updated versions.
The following books are scheduled for publication without revisions: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, The BFG, Fantastic Mr. Fox, George's Marvellous Medicine, James and the Giant Peach, The Witches, The Twits, The Giraffe, the Pelly and Me, The Enormous Crocodile, Esio Trot, Billy and the Minpins, The Magic Finger, Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, and Danny the Champion of the World.
Before the year is out, according to Penguin, they will be available.
Dahl, one of the most well-known children's writers in the UK who passed away in 1990 at the age of 74, had his works acquired by Netflix in 2021.
Dahl, however, became a very problematic figure as a result of antisemitic remarks made throughout his life.
His family issued an apology in 2020, acknowledging the "lasting and understandable hurt caused by Roald Dahl's antisemitic statements."
