The children's author David Walliams dropped by book publisher.
Prolific young adult author and entertainer David Walliams has parted ways with his publisher HarperCollins UK, the company has said.
A representative for the firm commented: "Upon deliberation, and with the guidance of its fresh leadership, HarperCollins UK has decided not to publish any new titles by David Walliams."
Reports indicate that the decision was reached following an inquiry regarding reports of questionable actions directed at women.
The firm did not confirm the reasons for its decision, adding: "It is not our policy to discuss private personnel issues."
A Prolific Literary Career
Walliams stands as a most successful children's authors, boasting over in excess of 60 million copies worldwide in 55 languages.
His first children's book, *The Boy in the Dress*, was published by HarperCollins fifteen years ago.
Several of his titles, including *Gangsta Granny* and *Billionaire Boy*, have also been adapted into TV movies.
He has published in excess of 40 works altogether, including a holiday title called *Santa & Son*, which was published by HarperCollins last autumn.
Television and Literature
His career breakthrough occurred on the broadcast sketch program *Little Britain* and has been honored with National Television Awards for his role as a panelist on *Britain's Got Talent*.
He was made an OBE several years ago for his services to the charitable sector and arts community.
This move occurs subsequent to the naming of Kate Elton as HarperCollins UK's recent CEO last fall.
