Life Histories was published by the PCS in celebration of Penguin Books' 60th anniversary in 1995. In that same year, the Society reached its own milestone of 21 years.
The book was originally destined to be Puffin Picture Book 116 but the sudden death of the author which coincided with the series being wrapped up led to the fact that it was never published by Penguin. The story of how the book was eventually published by PCS is told in a 12 page monograph, by Steve Hare, which accompanies the title.
One hundred copies were numbered and signed by Lee Chadwick, who edited the original text; Sheila Dorrell who completed the illustrative material after the death of Paxton Chadwick; and John Miles, who designed the book.
Large format landscape, 22 x 17.9 cms, illustrated throughout.
