If you prefer the unaltered versions of Roald Dahl's books, we have good news for you.

A sixteen-book classics collection, containing the original words, will be released alongside the edited versions, reports the Guardian.

So readers who prefer to see Augustus Gloop and Aunt Sponge described as fat and Mrs. Twit described as ugly will be able to do so still.

Penguin Random House said in a statement that it had "listened to the debate over the past week," which included authors like Salman Rushdie (along with many less-famous readers) criticizing the updated versions.
