Allen & Unwin is serious about the pleasures of reading. We publish books that we love to read - and judging by the success of books like The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, Water for Elephants, Jasper Jones, The White Earth, and Major Pettigrew's Last Stand, many other readers love them too.
