When I went to order my HP4, I decided to buy three other books with a
fantasy-for-juveniles angle, to see how they compare with JK Rowling. The
only other criterion I set was that I musn't have read anything by the
authors before (so, no Tolkien, CS Lewis et al)

I bought "The Colour of Magic" by Terry Pratchett (thanks for that tip,
Simon); "The Magicians of Caprona" by Diana Wynne Jones; and "The Iron
Giant" by Ted Hughes. I'll let you know what I make of them!

Incidentally, Warner Bros apparently did a good job with the cartoon
version of "The Iron Giant". That's why I want to read that one (it's
only 62 pages long though!)
