Pullman's proposal is certainly better than politically correcting Dahl, and I understand where he is coming from in terms of giving a greater spotlight to newer authors who need to put food on the table via sales, rather than on dead authors who no longer have that problem (I certainly wouldn't object if more people bought my children's adventure novels like Uncle Flynn, Echo and the White Howl, and The George Hughes Trilogy). But at the same time, Roald Dahl deserves to be remembered forever, in my opinion. His books are simply sublime.
