I felt the same when I found out Joan Aitken and Tove Jansson had died :( Can't say I'd read anything by Dick King-Smith (though I remember Pob winding him up on Pob's programme). But yeah, dammit. Kid's books these days are generally not as good as when we were kids IMO (you'd know better than me though, with your library experience). In a fight between Finn Family Moomintroll and a Hannah Montana book there is no contest. Moomins win hands (paws?) down.
