    Default Disney books riddled with errors

    Parragon Disney books riddled with errors


    Disney book errors prompt inquiry by publisher Parragon

    BBC News
    Linda Weeks, of Maidstone, Kent, found 70 errors when she read the Parragon-published series to her daughter. Ms Weeks, who is a research librarian, said the books which contained the errors included Aladdin, Alice in Wonderland, Finding Nemo, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White and Winnie the Pooh. Fairies were named wrongly, and a whale slapped its "tale" in one of the books.

    In Snow White, the text referred to an illustration of Doc, one of the seven dwarfs, but the character had been drawn without his glasses. "That's not Doc, is it? Doc should have glasses on," she said.

    The publishing house said it was disappointed not to have met its own high standards in the series published in 2010.

    Why does this not surprise me. I am by no means a grammar or spelling expert. But how does this happen? It's a shame.
