Then you misunderstood what I was saying.  Nowhere in my post did I
use the phrase "just children's books" or that "adults are trying to
read too much into them".  I think children's literature is as
important as any other sort.  When I referred to the British sort of
children's literature, I meant the kind you can read as an adult and
still appreciate.
