after a series of ‘anonymous complaints’

What a great way to get someone you don’t like into trouble. Just get a few mates to put similar complaints in.

Many (most?) children's authors don't actually like children.

Roald Dahl used his children as draught excluders after they stole the 'N' from his first name ... what a cut

C.S. Lewis used to split roast his step sons over the kitchen fire so that they understood what lay in wait for them after they died.

In the mind of a woman scorned it does

I saw Michael Morpurgo being interviewed a few years ago and he came across as a bit of a kernt.

Apparently Enid Blyton was a proper little shithouse to her children.

True.

That Rowling woman tried to kill her son Harry at least once every week before Christmas. Even televised it.

Yes she is reputed to have regularly invited her young fans to tea while sending her own kids to their rooms until they had gone. However her most extraordinary habit was it seems playing tennis in the nude. I think that she had quite a few "issues".
