Walker Books

by Sebastian Walker.

The success of their "Where's Wally?" series enabled them to expand into the American market, starting a sister company called Candlewick Press in 1992.

Amelia Edwards, co-founder of Walker Books, was presented with the Eleanor Farjeon Award in 2001 for her contributions to children's literature through her role as the publisher's art director.

The company's logo of a bear holding a candle was designed by Helen Oxenbury and has come to be seen as "a symbol of quality books for children."
