That's not different from other rewriting copy right owners do. Disney has written an rewritten Mickey Mouse 10K times. We don't know if the original author would have approved all of those versions. It's up to them to manage the work.
Personally I think the problem is excessive copyright. Without ownership, anyone could rewrite Dahl however they like. And if someone prefers the original version, that's fine too.
