  • Summary

  • What happens when a beloved children's classic has something problematic, outdated, or just plain boring in it -- and the author isn't around to fix it? Sometimes editors take matters into their own hands. We discuss editing controversies involving Shakespeare, Roald Dahl, Doctor Seuss, and even Goosebumps, and Maria offers up a much better version of Twilight.
