Age-rated books: Right or wrong?
BBC News, 20 August 2008
Some publishing houses are to start 'age banding' their children's books later this year. Opening the debate, the BBC presents two opposing views.
Anne Fine OBE, a children's author, is against the scheme, while The Publishers Association says that, according to its research, 86 per cent of adults said they would welcome age guidance on children's books as one of several tools to help them choose fiction.
