This makes me wonder: how many of the books I grew up with had already been bowdlerized?

It’s interesting that Charlie and the Chocolate Factory has been edited before — “de-negroed”, in fact, according to Dahl.

It forces me to wrestle with that uncomfortable feeling that I find these edits off-putting, yet the so-called “original” version I am mentally defending was not in fact necessarily the original.

I feel similarly having grown up with the books.

The difference in that example the author himself updated the text.
