These books had to be rewritten

Most people assume that once a book is published, that's the permanent record, and it's too late for any do-overs.

Some writers are simply never completely satisfied with their work, and will go back after it's published to make changes. Other books had to be rewritten, with racist terms removed and passages of text amended. From Mary Shelley's 'Frankenstein' (1818) to Roald Dahl's 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' (1964), click on for books that were edited even after they'd been published.

How to nurture your child’s creativity

We tend to assign creativity to certain people and not to others, as if it's something you're born with and can't be taught.

Kids can exercise their creativity and imagination in countless ways, from art to music and play.
