When a young Englishman named Sebastian Walker decided to publish the best children's books in 1978, he founded his company in an extra bedroom at his London home, persuading a team of talented and ambitious people to join him. The company's message was clear:The books and their authors were the stars of Walker Books. His rare commitment inspired Candlewick Press, founded in Massachusetts in 1991, along with Walker Box Australia. Today, Sebastian Walker's legacy is thriving on three continents, and Candlewick Press is part of an ambitious global publishing enterprise with limitless prospects.
