Hamsun and Caravaggio weren't notable producers of children's children's content, which is important to the context of this news cycle. Sure, art can survive the reputation of its creator, but children-centered art that really doesn't fit the modality of the present will self-select into obscurity if it can't change with the times. Some examples are "The Jungle Book" globally or "Brer Rabbit and the Tar Baby" from my neck of the woods.

The changes were minute and across numerous books from all available evidence. The compromise the publisher centered on appears appropriate and measured.
