I don’t care if they call a fat kid fat, but I’m much more concerned about the bald witches wearing wigs. I have always heard that Orthodox Jewish women shave their heads and wear wigs, so I don’t think Dahl was just making fun of bald women, I think he is saying that Jewish women are witches (especially since he was known to be vehemently antisemitic).
I discovered Ray Bradbury back in the 70s when I was in 8th grade. Back then, the idea that science fiction could be considered serious literature was ludicrous. But now, Ray Bradbury is considered a great author and many of his books stand the test of time.

Is Cindy going “woke” ? No need to hesitate when you know the little girl smacked that 60 P nail dead on.

I can’t wait to read their modernized version of “The 7 capital sins”! (among many chapters of said book…)

Are these the same kids who criticized the myth of Icarus?
