A sad, sad day at Usborne Towers today, with many tears shed for this wonderful man who we were lucky to work for and with, and be led and inspired by. It won't be quite the same without him but we will do our best to keep his legacy alive x

We are deeply saddened to share the news of the passing of our beloved founder and chairman Peter Usborne CBE.

Peter passed away peacefully this morning surrounded by his family.

This book is back in print…48 years after publication. Nostalgic, yes, but moreover it’s extraordinary reading about what science *thought* might happen by 2023. It casts new light on what *we* think today. #Futurology would be intriguing to explore with classes. @AnnaHoworth

What remains of twitter! Can you tell me - if you read the Usborne book of ghosts as a child, and remember it fondly now, why did it appeal to you? What makes it nostalgic for you?

Did you know that it’s not illegal to put a 6yo child in a boat without a life jacket?

We're 50 today! 🎉

It’s amazing to think that multiple generations have grown up with Usborne books, growing their minds along the way.

Took about 5 terrible photos at the #usborne50 staff party yesterday which is always a sign of a marvellous event. 230 lovely people on a boat down the Thames in fancy dress: The Dream. Love this bunch so much.

[Anna Howorth @AnnaHoworth]

Staff party next week celebrating 50 years of @Usborne. It’s fancy dress. Can you guess what I’m going as?
