The children's author David Walliams parted ways with book publisher.
Acclaimed children's author and comedian David Walliams is no longer with his longtime publishing house, according to an announcement.
An official for the firm said: "Following a thorough review, and following the appointment of its new CEO, HarperCollins UK will not be releasing additional books by David Walliams."
Media sources suggest that the decision was reached following an inquiry regarding allegations of questionable actions towards women.
The publisher did not confirm the motivations for this action, adding: "We do not comment on confidential company decisions."
A Highly Successful Literary Career
Walliams ranks among Britain's most prolific writers for young readers, with sales exceeding more than 60 million copies globally in five dozen languages.
His inaugural foray into kids' literature, *The Boy in the Dress*, was published by HarperCollins fifteen years ago.
Some of his works, for example *Gangsta Granny* and *Billionaire Boy*, have found new life as television films.
His bibliography includes over four dozen titles altogether, including a festive story named *Santa & Son*, which was released through HarperCollins in October.
Television and Literature
His career breakthrough occurred on the television comedy show *Little Britain* and has additionally received National Television Awards for his work as a judge on *Britain's Got Talent*.
He received an OBE back in 2017 honoring his contributions to philanthropic and artistic endeavors.
This move occurs subsequent to the naming of Kate Elton as HarperCollins UK's recent CEO in October.
