> I'm okay with new books being published that clean up the old stories, but they can't rightly list Roald Dahl as the author. The author on the cover needs to be "Roald Dahl & Whoever".
That will probably happen — multiple times — as soon as the (original) books are in the public domain, but right now there is no way the publisher is going to give a cut of the sales to a 2nd named author (especially since anyone good would also push back on some of the ill-considered changes).
