The children's author David Walliams parted ways with longtime publisher.
Best-selling writer for children and comedian David Walliams is no longer with his longtime publishing house, according to an announcement.
A spokesman 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."
Reports indicate that the conclusion was reached following an inquiry regarding allegations of questionable actions involving women.
The firm declined to specify the reasons for its decision, stating: "We refrain from speaking about internal matters."
An Illustrious Literary Career
Walliams ranks among Britain's most successful children's authors, with sales exceeding more than 60 million copies worldwide in 55 languages.
His first children's book, *The Boy in the Dress*, came out under HarperCollins fifteen years ago.
Some of his books, including *Gangsta Granny* and *Billionaire Boy*, have found new life as television films.
His bibliography includes in excess of 40 works in total, which features a festive story named *Santa & Son*, which was released through HarperCollins last autumn.
From Screen to Page
His career breakthrough occurred on the TV sketch series *Little Britain* and has been honored with National Television Awards for his duties as an arbiter on *Britain's Got Talent*.
He was made an OBE several years ago for his services to philanthropic and artistic endeavors.
This move occurs subsequent to the appointment of Kate Elton as HarperCollins UK's freshly installed boss this past October.
