A spokesman for the publisher stated: "After careful consideration, and under the leadership of its fresh leadership, HarperCollins UK will not be releasing additional books by David Walliams." Reports indicate that the conclusion was reached following an review of allegations of inappropriate behaviour towards female individuals. The firm did not confirm the reasons for its decision, stating: "We refrain from speaking about confidential company decisions." A Prolific Literary Career Walliams ranks among Britain's most prolific writers for young readers, with sales exceeding over six tens of millions of copies globally in dozens of tongues. His inaugural foray into kids' literature, *The Boy in the Dress*, came out under HarperCollins back in 2008. A number of his titles, for example *Gangsta Granny* and *Billionaire Boy*, have subsequently been turned into television films. To date, he has released over four dozen titles combined, which features a Christmas book titled *Santa & Son*, which was released through HarperCollins last autumn. A Dual Career His career breakthrough occurred on the television comedy show *Little Britain* and has been honored with National Television Awards for his role as a panelist on *Britain's Got Talent*. He received an OBE back in 2017 honoring his contributions to charity and the arts. The publisher's decision comes after the selection of Kate Elton as HarperCollins UK's new chief executive this past October.
