I don't think children's 'literature' was hurting. Books that appealed to children *and* their parents is what Rowling reintroduced. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 10, 11:09 4

  - Because parents and other adults weren't buying copies too. - Dr.Vermin Feb 10, 11:21 1
    - For sure. There are huge children's books out now, that people who don't have kids wouldn't know about. - Amy Feb 10, 11:24
  - just because it wasn't doing massive numbers doesn't mean it was dead. just sort of invisible. -- nm - zork Feb 10, 11:16
