About the Little Histories series rebrand

Following in the footsteps of E. H. Gombrich's worldwide bestseller A Little History of the World, the books in the series explore the history of the world's most remarkable people, events and ideas.

Launching in April 2025, the new design foregrounds each book's gorgeous illustrations across the printed inside covers and tip-in pages. In their rainbow of fresh and joyous colours, the books will continue to entice readers young and old for the next twenty years and more.
