(This is my first time reading this book, so according to my new rules, I'm doing this as a video only review.)
Links to stuff mentioned:
Stephen Roxburgh is the editor whose name I forget in the video. He worked on Roald Dahl with The Witches and Matilda.
As for the altered text, according to Wikipedia, this is an example of the original version:
It is a curious truth that grasshoppers have their hearing-organs in the sides of the abdomen. Your daughter Vanessa, judging by what she's learnt this term, has no hearing-organs at all.
And here is the altered version (this is the version that was in the book I read):
It is a curious truth that grasshoppers have their hearing-organs in the sides of the abdomen. Judging by what your daughter Vanessa has learnt this term, this fact alone is more interesting than anything I have taught in the classroom.
