The children's author David Walliams dropped by publishing house.
Prolific children's author and TV personality David Walliams has parted ways with his publisher HarperCollins UK, according to an announcement.
A representative for the company commented: "After careful consideration, and under the leadership of its new CEO, HarperCollins UK has decided not to publish additional books by David Walliams."
It has been reported that the decision was taken subsequent to an inquiry regarding reports of questionable actions towards young women.
The company declined to specify the reasons for its decision, adding: "We refrain from speaking about internal matters."
An Illustrious Publishing History
Walliams stands as a most successful children's authors, boasting over in excess of 60 million copies globally in dozens of tongues.
His inaugural foray into kids' literature, *The Boy in the Dress*, was released through HarperCollins fifteen years ago.
Some of his works, including *Gangsta Granny* and *Billionaire Boy*, have subsequently been turned into television films.
His bibliography includes over four dozen titles combined, encompassing a holiday title called *Santa & Son*, which came out under HarperCollins last autumn.
From Screen to Page
His initial claim to fame came on the television comedy show *Little Britain* and has been honored with National Television Awards for his role as a panelist on *Britain's Got Talent*.
He received an OBE in 2017 in recognition of his work for charity and the arts.
This move occurs subsequent to the appointment of Kate Elton as HarperCollins UK's freshly installed boss this past October.
