At last...Somebody who knows who Diana Wynne Jones is, and that she beats Rowling into a cocked hat.There was an interview with DWJ in one of the Sunday papers where they asked her what she thought of Rowling and she basically said 'well, a thankyou would be nice' :)Margaret Mahy and Michelle Magorian have Rowling beat as well.

And to juvenile writing what megastores are to shopping.... the soul has been lost somewhere along the road to profit.
