The children's author David Walliams parted ways with publishing house.
Prolific children's author and TV personality David Walliams has been dropped by his longtime publishing house, according to an announcement.
An official for the firm stated: "Upon deliberation, and with the guidance of its recently appointed chief executive, HarperCollins UK has chosen to cease publishing future works by David Walliams."
It has been reported that the decision was made after an review of reports of questionable actions towards female individuals.
The firm did not confirm the motivations for this action, noting: "We do not comment on confidential company decisions."
A Prolific Literary Career
Walliams stands as a most best-selling authors for kids, having sold over six tens of millions of copies worldwide in 55 languages.
The debut children's novel from Walliams, *The Boy in the Dress*, was released through HarperCollins back in 2008.
Several of his works, for example *Gangsta Granny* and *Billionaire Boy*, have found new life as TV movies.
To date, he has released more than 40 books in total, encompassing a Christmas book named *Santa & Son*, which came out under HarperCollins last autumn.
From Screen to Page
He first rose to fame on the broadcast sketch program *Little Britain* and has also won National Television Awards for his work as a judge on *Britain's Got Talent*.
He was made an OBE several years ago for his services to the charitable sector and arts community.
The publisher's decision comes after the selection of Kate Elton as HarperCollins UK's recent CEO last fall.
