“Jim Knopf” by Michael Ende: Publisher deletes N-word and changes illustrations – culture

On Saturday, revised, colored new editions of Michael Ende’s children’s books “Jim Knopf and Lukas the Locomotive Driver” and “Jim Knopf and the Wilde 13” will be published by Thienemann-Verlag in Stuttgart. Some things will be different than before – the publisher, in consultation with both the heirs of Michael Ende and those of illustrator FJ Tripp, has decided to make changes that take into account a new understanding of sensitivity in diversity issues.
