FABER & FABER
has published children’s books since 1929. Some of our very first publications included
Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats
by T. S. Eliot, starring the now world-famous Macavity, and
The Iron Man
by Ted Hughes. Our catalogue at the time said that ‘it is by reading such books that children learn the difference between the shoddy and the genuine’. We still believe in the power of reading to transform children’s lives.
