Q: MarkTwain and Censorship. appeals?
I believe that, once upon a time, a publisher published the works of mark twain but censored what may have been offensive. The censorship won out in the end. (evil won in that case) but i wonder if that case was disputed further and appealed. does anyone know?
The Roald Dhal censorship was very similar but that had a more happy ending that that may be because the publisher thought better against the censorship. what the heck happened?
What I want to know is if this case could be appealed and overturned in a constitutional appellate court?

A:
I'm familiar with historical cases of censorship, such as those involving Mark Twain's works, but whether a specific case was appealed and overturned would require a thorough review of the legal history and court records. Appeals and potential outcomes depend on various factors, including constitutional rights and legal arguments presented. If you have a specific case in mind, consulting legal experts and researching court records would be necessary for accurate information.
