The children's author David Walliams lost his contract with book publisher.
Acclaimed children's author and comedian David Walliams is no longer with his longtime publishing house, according to an announcement.
An official for the company commented: "Upon deliberation, and with the guidance of its new CEO, HarperCollins UK has decided not to publish any new titles by David Walliams."
It has been reported that the conclusion was made after an inquiry regarding allegations of conduct deemed unsuitable directed at young women.
The firm has not elaborated on the motivations for this action, stating: "We refrain from speaking about internal matters."
An Illustrious Writing Journey

He has published in excess of 40 works combined, which features a Christmas book titled *Santa & Son*, which came out under HarperCollins this past October.
