Well, he is primarily a children's book writer.

Nix · Postby **Nix** » Sat Feb 22, 2003 9:50 pm

u sure, hes written about 10 books: 4 sally, 3 hdm, 1 clockwork, fire... and count karlstein

i wouldnt have sed that sally was for children and hdm isnt. and i wouldntr advise children below the age of 10 to read clockwork or karlstein

so its for younger children

ok then, maybe so but still that 8:2, 7:3 at a stretchs

But apart from the Sally Lockhart and HDM series they're all childrens books.

Nix · Postby **Nix** » Sun Feb 23, 2003 5:04 pm

all 3 of them

Will · Postby **Will** » Sun Feb 23, 2003 6:40 pm

That makes it 3:2 on the children's book side. Add the upcoming scarecrow book and thats 2:1.

but each of the childrens books are only about 50 pages long so its obvious which he puts more effort into writing

OK, I'm polling this...

clockwork's happy-ending enough for a kiddy book, but it's pretty... gothic? i don't know. the rest of his books weren't all childrens books. um... the white mercedes definitely not. i don't think galatea was. i haven't too many of his books.

Yes, it was very gothic wasn't it? Creeped me out somewhat... PP has said that he prefers ghost stories best of all so I guess I shouldn't be suprised.

don't forget The White Mercedes. That was far from a children's book.

Someone find a list of his books....

You know, BTTS has a link to the "official" list...

http://www.randomhouse.com/features/pul ... books.html

I don't know if that has everything, but it has most of the stuff by PP.

He's not really what I would call a children's author.
