As part of its policy of keeping books amenable to Jewish and Muslim readers—among others—Britain’s Oxford University Press recently asked a children’s author to avoid mentioning anything pig-related.

Specifically, the unnamed U.K. author was asked write out any mention of “pigs plus sausages, or anything else which could be perceived as pork,” according to a Wednesday morning report by BBC Radio host James Naughtie.

Mr. Naughtie’s wife Eleanor Updale is said to be in talks with Oxford University Press to produce an educational book series, although the host did not specifically name her as the author who leaked him the letter.

In a statement to the National Post, Oxford University Press said it did not know which book Mr. Naughtie was referring to, but noted that “we provide this guidance to our UK authors for books that will be used for an international audience.”

An official statement added that “our materials are sold in nearly 200 countries, and as such, and without compromising our commitment in any way, we encourage some authors of educational materials respectfully to consider cultural differences and sensitivities.”
