The children's author David Walliams dropped by publishing house.
Acclaimed writer for children and comedian David Walliams has been dropped by his publisher HarperCollins UK, as confirmed by the firm.
An official for the firm said: "Upon deliberation, and with the guidance of its fresh leadership, HarperCollins UK has chosen to cease publishing future works by David Walliams."
Media sources suggest that the conclusion was reached following an review of claims about conduct deemed unsuitable involving women.
The company declined to specify the motivations for this action, adding: "It is not our policy to discuss confidential company decisions."
A Highly Successful Literary Career
Walliams ranks among Britain's most best-selling authors for kids, boasting over over six tens of millions of copies internationally in 55 languages.
His first children's book, *The Boy in the Dress*, came out under HarperCollins in 2008.
Several of his titles, for example *Gangsta Granny* and *Billionaire Boy*, have subsequently been turned into TV movies.
His bibliography includes over four dozen titles altogether, including a Christmas book named *Santa & Son*, which was released through HarperCollins this past October.
Television and Literature
His initial claim to fame came on the television comedy show *Little Britain* and has additionally received National Television Awards for his role as a panelist on *Britain's Got Talent*.
He received an OBE in 2017 honoring his contributions to charity and the arts.
This move occurs subsequent to the selection of Kate Elton as HarperCollins UK's freshly installed boss in October.
