The very first GAWD Figly must be awarded to Puffin Books, the children’s publishing label of Penguin Random House in London, which proudly announced that it had hired “sensitive readers” to rewrite the beloved classics of the late author, Roald Dahl.

The sensitive readers came from an organization called Inclusive Minds, which, the Telegraph reported, calls itself “a collective for people who are passionate about inclusion and accessibility in chidren’s literature.” That is, in literature that somebody else wrote.
