A brand-new look from April 2025
Inspiring guides for curious minds...
Following in the footsteps of E. H. Gombrich's worldwide bestseller A Little History of the World, the books in our Little Histories series explore the history of the world's most remarkable people, events and ideas.
For 2025 the series has been relaunched with a brand new look for both hardbacks and paperbacks, foregrounding each book's gorgeous illustrations across the printed inside covers and tip-in pages. In their rainbow of fresh and joyous colours, we hope the books in the series will continue to entice readers young and old for the next twenty years and more.
Illustrators & Artworks
Each one of our Little History books features cover illustrations and internal images that have been specially commissioned to compliment the text. We work with artists who are passionate about storytelling - and their contribution to the books are one of the things that make our Little Histories unique.
