This beautiful gift book, a celebration of children's fiction of the twentieth century, contains extracts from writers as diverse as Jacqueline Wilson, Anne Fine, J R R Tolkien and Rudyard Kipling. There's humour, adventure, fantasy and fairy-tale in this introduction to the century's classics - the Iron Man and the Borrowers rub shoulders with Bilbo Baggins and Charlie.
The first ten paperback Penguin books appeared in 1935 costing 6d each (the price of a packet of cigarettes). Since then the Penguin list has developed enormously, but still aims to bring the best writing to the widest possible audience. Penguin Paperbacks now range from Booker Prize-winning contemporary authors, to mass market bestsellers, with successful history, biography and general non-fiction as well.
