David Walliams parted ways with book publisher.
Acclaimed children's author and entertainer David Walliams is no longer with his longtime publishing house, according to an announcement.
A spokesman for the firm stated: "Upon deliberation, and under the leadership of its recently appointed chief executive, HarperCollins UK has chosen to cease publishing additional books by David Walliams."
Reports indicate that the conclusion was reached following an inquiry regarding reports of inappropriate behaviour involving female individuals.
The firm declined to specify the reasons for its decision, noting: "We refrain from speaking about internal matters."
A Prolific Literary Career
Walliams stands as a most best-selling authors for kids, having sold more than 60 million copies worldwide in five dozen languages.
His inaugural foray into kids' literature, *The Boy in the Dress*, came out under HarperCollins back in 2008.
Several of his works, for example *Gangsta Granny* and *Billionaire Boy*, have subsequently been turned into television films.
His bibliography includes in excess of 40 works combined, which features a Christmas book named *Santa & Son*, which was released through HarperCollins in October.
From Screen to Page
His initial claim to fame came on the broadcast sketch program *Little Britain* and has also won National Television Awards for his duties as an arbiter on *Britain's Got Talent*.
He received an OBE in 2017 for his services to charity and the arts.
This move occurs subsequent to the selection of Kate Elton as HarperCollins UK's recent CEO this past October.
