Like I said by all means alter racist words etc, but alot of the changes are just to be overly PC ....and who else is going to be targeted next? Dickens? ,these books were of their time. You can't change the mind of a dead Author from the past .

Interestingly I remember coming across Huckleberry Finn and the N word still being in it . I was shocked...but I think it was a old edition. I think today it would have been removed understandably.

Also it's about education ...why don't parents just talk to their kids , why is there an overly sensitive attitude towards the bald witches?. These are caricatures descriptions to easily be formed in your imagination..... especially as a child . it's not about mocking people with cancer or alopecia .
