"Roald Dahl threatened publisher with ‘enormous crocodile’ if they changed his words"

Such a shame. Ancient Indian epics feature violence, slaughter of demons and evil beings. Kids from birth witness the killing of the evil ten headed demon king, enacted, on stage, in pretty much every village in india.

But suddenly we are too soft for august gloop to be called fat or ms twit being fearfully ugly.
