 * Keep A book being in print for 36 years seems to be an indication of notability to me. Edward321 (talk) 18:52, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. Discussed in the Telegraph, Independent and Guardian obituaries of the author, which are certainly reliable sources. The Telegraph refers to it as a 'classic' and both the Independent & the Guardian devote substantial discussion to it. It was written in 1942, and is still in print in more than one edition, one of which has an Amazon.co.uk rating of 6,698. It has also been made into a BBC audiobook. I'm not sure what more a children's book has to do to qualify, other than be written by JK Rowling! Espresso Addict (talk) 21:37, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
