The Simpsons is one of the great literary works of the 20th century, says novelist and critic Gilbert Adair of the cartoon series that turned 10 years old last week.

Dean's Note: While the literary values of J K Rowling's phenomenal bestseller remain arguable, it is agreed that great children's literature is nothing inferior. It deserves recognition. Read how the forth of the Harry Potter series has fueled debate on the status of children's literature.
