Today, Roald Dahl’s stories are available in 58 languages and, by a conservative estimate, he has sold more than 200 million books. Many of these stories have also been adapted for screen and stage, with combined box office proceeds exceeding $600 million for the 1971 film classicWilly Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, Tim Burton’s adaptation of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Wes Anderson’s Fantastic Mr. Fox, Matilda, directed byDanny DeVito, and the critically acclaimed film, James and the Giant Peach, produced by Tim Burton.

Of course, Career Press has established a name for itself these past 18 years; we didn't want to lose that. We believe New Page Books will bring some of our important new lines to an even wider audience.
“New Page Books launched its first list in Fall 2000. Prominent categories for the imprint include Mind/Body/Spirit, Self-Help, Science, History, Paranormal, New Thought, UFO, Ancient Mysteries, and Health titles.

Philomel Books/Penguin
Philomel Books was created in the early 1980s from World Publishing Books for Young People, by Editor and Publisher Ann Beneduce. The World list lived up to its name, drawing in titles from around the globe—such as Mitsumasa Anno‘s Journey series and Satomi Ichikawa‘s Nora books. Ms. Beneduce was a pioneer as far as books that would sell to both trade and institutional markets, so for the new list she chose the name Philomel, a term for an English nightingale that means literally “love of learning.” The name implied that these books would be distinguished, beautiful in concept and form, fine enough to be sought as gifts, and original and handsome enough to be bought by libraries and schools. The early lists included such future classics as Eric Carle‘s The Very Hungry Caterpillar, an industry icon that has sold millions of copies worldwide and was even honored with its own U.S. postage stamp; Virginia Hamilton’s Newbery Honor-winning Sweet Whispers, Brother Rush; and Ed Young‘s Caldecott Honor-winning The Emperor and the Kite.
