Julia Donaldson pictured above has extended her seemingly unstoppable record-setting run of earning eight figures through Nielsen BookScan's Total Consumer Market.

Richard Osman muscled into the top three, consigning David Walliams to fourth place, the latter's lowest position in the year-end authors chart since 2013.
