There is something for everyone in this collection of extracts - fantasy and reality, comedy and drama, science fiction, history and ghosts. Characters like the Hobbit, the Sheep-pig and the Borrowers, and authors as varied as Margaret Mahy, Helen Cresswell and Nicholas Fisk are included.
The first ten paperback Penguin books appeared in 1935 costing 6d each (the price of a packet of cigarettes). Since then the Penguin list has developed enormously, but still aims to bring the best writing to the widest possible audience. Penguin Paperbacks now range from Booker Prize-winning contemporary authors, to mass market bestsellers, with successful history, biography and general non-fiction as well.
