The Man Who Changed the Way We Read: The Story of Allen Lane and Penguin Books
Jeremy Lewis
Talks about the era in which the masses were given access to what had previously been the preserve of a wealthy few - books. This title recounts how Allen Lane came to launch his Penguins for the price of a packet of cigarettes; how they became enormously influential in alerting the public to the threat of Nazi Germany; and more.
