David Walliams parted ways with book publisher.
Acclaimed writer for children and comedian David Walliams is no longer with his UK book publisher, the company has said.
A spokesman for the company said: "Following a thorough review, and following the appointment of its fresh leadership, HarperCollins UK will not be releasing additional books by David Walliams."
Media sources suggest that the move was taken subsequent to an inquiry regarding reports of inappropriate behaviour directed at young women.
The company did not confirm the specific rationale behind the move, noting: "It is not our policy to discuss internal matters."
A Prolific Writing Journey
Walliams stands as a most successful children's authors, boasting over in excess of 60 million copies globally in five dozen languages.
His inaugural foray into kids' literature, *The Boy in the Dress*, came out under HarperCollins back in 2008.
Some of his titles, for example *Gangsta Granny* and *Billionaire Boy*, have also been adapted into TV movies.
He has published in excess of 40 works in total, including a festive story titled *Santa & Son*, which was published by HarperCollins in October.
Television and Literature
He first rose to fame 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 was made an OBE in 2017 in recognition of his work for philanthropic and artistic endeavors.
This move occurs subsequent to the appointment of Kate Elton as HarperCollins UK's new chief executive last fall.
