About the Publisher
Frederick Warne Publishers Ltd
Frederick Warne was founded in 1865 by a bookseller turned publisher who gave his own name to the firm and is the home of our classic brands. Warne's best-known author was Beatrix Potter, creator of the world-famous Peter Rabbit Books. Since its acquisition by Penguin in 1983, Warne has focused on the development of Beatrix Potter and the acquisition of other book-based children's character properties including Cicely Mary Barker's Flower Fairies,in 1989 and Eric Hill's Spot in 1993. The hallmarks of the publishing program are beautifully produced editions of the original works, plus lively spin-off books ranging from baby record books and treasuries to board books and novelty titles. Today Warne manages an international programme of publishing, licensing and entertainment.
