I do think there are quite a few books and authors who are introduced to children at too young and age. I read anything and everything as a youngster, but was put off most of the Classics by having to read them and dissect them at too young an age. Some I have come to love (eg Jane Austin), some I have come to like (eg George Elliot, Anne Bronte) and others I still don't like (eg Charlotte Bronte)! I still can't read Dickens or Shakespeare!!
