Beware the sausage vendors


"How sad it is that writers whose books are, on the whole, worthless, produce them like sausages out of a machine, whereas the real artists among children's writers (with few exceptions) write so few."
Frank Eyre, British Children's Books in the Twentieth Century, p.150. 1971
Want to take a run at naming today's "sausage vendors"?
Or, perhaps more usefully, who do you consider to be "real artists among children's writers" today?
