Usborne See inside the Universe

Usborne is a highly regarded British children's book publisher, widely recognized for its high-quality educational and interactive books. The brand was founded in 1973 by Peter Usborne, who transitioned into children's publishing after learning he was to become a father. Based in London, the company is renowned for its in-house creation process, where nearly all books are written, designed, and edited by their own internal staff.

Ownership remains strictly within the family, making it one of the most successful independent publishers globally. Following Peter Usborne's passing in 2023, the leadership of the company transitioned to his daughter, Nicola Usborne. While the creative work and original concepts are strictly generated at their UK offices in London, Oxford, and Wolverhampton, the physical manufacturing of the books is handled by various global printing partners, typically in countries like China, Italy, and the UAE, to accommodate their worldwide distribution network.
