This book charts the history of a young German Jewish émigré, David Gottlieb, who launched the twin publishing imprints of John Westhouse and Peter Lunn. The venture was an ambitious but short-lived one in which, between 1943 and 1948, he published some 70 John Westhouse books for adults and 120 Peter Lunn books for children. This book is a companion volume to Peter Lunn: children's publisher, and contains a series of essays which provide an integrated overview of the production, design and illustration of books from both imprints. Drawing on information only recently released by the National Archives, it also gives for the first time a full account of the remarkable roller-coaster life and career of David Gottlieb himself. ( )
