Dahl more popular than Rowling
Roald Dahl remains the most popular children's author among young adults, a survey has found, reported in the Guardian.
JK Rowling, whose first Harry Potter book sparked a publishing sensation when it hit the bookshelves 10 years ago, is only the fourth most popular author. Second and third place were taken by CS Lewis.
The survey of 16- to 34-year-olds was commissioned by ITV3 to mark its Roald Dahl weekend on September 22.
