Comments: As quickly as they had been merged together in 1997, the Best Adult Fantasy Literature and Best Children's Fantasy Literature categories were once again split apart in 1998. Given that one of the nominees this year in the Children's Fantasy Literature category was Jane Yolen's three part Young Merlin series, which had an installment published in 1996 (and which as a result would have been eligible for nomination in 1997), the decision to merge the two categories seems all the more mystifying.
