I’d also like to thank my friends Emma Gibbins, Hayley Drew, Katharine Ravetz, Alessia Sardella, Abbie Moore, Georgie Farmer, Fiona Findlater, Lisa Martin, Barbara Horsfield and Clare Hatfield – each of you have had a significant and positive influence on my life.
Then there’s my Bodyguard squad at Puffin: Jessica Farrugia Sharples, Hannah Malaco, Wendy Shakespeare and Helen Gray. And, finally, one person I must thank and who is an exception to the female rule: Tig Wallace, my brand-new shiny editor – I couldn’t ask for a more enthusiastic, hard-working and dedicated editor. Keep up the good fight!
Stay safe,
Chris

It all started with a scarecrow …
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.
