Archived from groups: rec>arts>books>childrens (more info?)

He's known for the "Hob" series for children, though most of his books
are fantasies for young adults.

Then again, maybe I shouldn't be mentioning him here at all, given
what I just found out about him. He was sentenced in 2004 and is
presumably out by now, living in England.

About that....

Here's a debate about whether to read his books ever again.....
