Children's authors most stolen...
Some councils also revealed those authors whose books were most popular with thieves, or which were borrowed and not returned. Not surprisingly, perhaps, they tallied with best-sellers such as Harry Potter author JK Rowling, Roald Dahl, Terry Pratchett and Jacqueline Wilson... In Wrexham, 74 health books were not returned in 2006-07 and another 68 copies are "missing" for 2007-08. Forty one copies of books by children's author Jacqueline Wilson were stolen or not returned over the same period.
