mind of a man called Allen Lane, who in 1935 invented the quality
paperback and changed the world. And from great Penguins,
great Puffins grew, changing the face of children’s books
forever.
The first four Puffin Picture Books
were hatched in 1940 and the first Puffin story book featured a man
with broomstick arms called Worzel Gummidge. In 1967 Kaye Webb,
Puffin Editor, started the Puffin Club, promising to ‘make children into readers’ . She
kept that promise and over 200,000 children became devoted
Puffineers through their quarterly instalments of
Puffin
Post
.
Many years from now, we hope
you’ll look back and remember Puffin with a smile. No
matter what your age or what you’re into, there’s a
Puffin for everyone. The possibilities are endless, but
one thing is for sure: whether it’s a picture book or a
paperback, a sticker book or a hardback, if it’s got
that little Puffin on it – it’s bound to be
good.
