What a legacy!
We are deeply saddened to share the news of the passing of the beloved founder and chairman of Usborne Publishing, Peter Usborne CBE. Peter passed away peacefully this morning surrounded by his family.
Peter was an exceptional publisher, an inspirational leader and a lovely man. He will be incredibly missed by his family and everyone here at PaperPie.
Nicola Usborne, Peter’s daughter and Usborne’s managing director said “My dad always felt that he’d had the absolute best life, and that publishing for children for 50 years was the greatest privilege he could imagine.”
