Puffin is over seventy years old.
Sounds ancient,
doesn’t it? But Puffin has never been so lively. We’re always on the
lookout for the next big idea, which is how it began all those years ago.

Penguin Books was a big idea from the 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.
