UK Book sales hit a record as children’s fiction gains in popularity

Children’s fiction helped drive UK book sales to a record £3.5bn last year, the Publishers Association (PA) has said.
The 6% rise came despite the waning popularity of ebooks, which saw sales fall by 3% to £538m last year.
Sales of children’s books rose 16% to £365m, with the increase due mainly to the purchase of printed works.
