Quick rabbit hole dive into who owns the publishing company (Puffin Books) that decided to modify Roald Dahls books and here’s my notes: (flip through images)

OR

Puffin belongs to Penguin Random House, a subsidiary of the German media conglomerate Bertelsmann.

Bertelsmann is a major conglomerate, offering not only books but also television, radio, music, magazines and services. Its principal divisions include in the RTL Group, Penguin Random House, BMG, Arvato, the Bertelsmann Printing Group, the Bertelsmann Education Group and Bertelsmann Investments.

Bertelsmann is an unlisted and capital market-oriented company, which remains primarily controlled by the Mohn family.

Started by Reinhard Mohn who in 1977, founded the non-profit Bertelsmann Stiftung, which is today one of the largest foundations in Germany, with worldwide reach - as the result of social, corporate and fiscal considerations. As the Bertelsmann Stiftung itself has put it, the foundation promotes "reform processes" and "the principles of entrepreneurial activity" to build a "future-oriented society."

So, that’s who’s rewriting history. I’m going to bed 🫡
