I wasn't aware Roald Dahl's books had pedophile bait as aspects.
I'll have to keep it in mind next time I watch MATILDA.

And of course, the just provided fodder for an episode of LAW AND ORDER: SVU.
Maybe a three parter.
And:

Quote:
A spokeswoman for Penguin stressed that the new edition of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was "intended for an adult audience", adding that the cover image was not intended to represent either of female children featured in the story.
So... what is the cover supposed to represent? I'm running out of options here...

It's not Lolita
It's not a character in the book.

I can only assume it isn't one of the 'wives...

Please, Penguin, please! JUST TELL US WHO THE ^%#%#$ IT FREAKING IS!!!
