This reference to Enid Blyton in that article seems somewhat misleading: "A month later, it was announced Enid Blyton's works would be expurgated as well."

It's my understanding that the books released under the Enid Blyton trademark have been continuously revised ever since they were first published, which was long before 2023.

Take a look at any recent Enid Blyton book: there's lots of references to the trademark but no claim that the text was written by a natural person with that name. Some of the books may have been ghostwritten and the Wikipedia article on "Enid Blyton" says: "updated versions of her books have continued to be popular since her death in 1968".

So there's nothing new about updating books. I suppose the problem was that some people wanted Roald Dahl to be treated like a proper author rather than a brand. Enid Blyton has been a brand for decades.
