I, for one, read and re-read a book called “The Wolfling” because I was enthralled with wolves and nature etc. I would be thrilled if my kids read my old tattered copy, but I know that they may just as likely have a thing for trains or witches.

You do, however, raise an interesting point about the pacing of newer stories vs. older ones and it seems to me a valid one.
