About Letterland
Letterland has been bringing literacy to life for over 50 years. We've published hundreds of titles that have sold in their millions around the world. Today we sell in 111 countries and our award-winning books and software are helping countless young children to learn how to read, write and spell!
Mission
At Letterland, we believe that small is beautiful. We are a family-owned independent publisher with a big reputation to uphold. Our mission has always been to ensure that as many young children as possible have fun learning to read, write and spell. We want our smallest customers to enjoy our books and to develop a love of reading that will stay with them for the rest of their lives. In 1968, Lyn Wendon created Letterland at her kitchen table and, over 50 years later, the Wendon family still own and run Letterland, meaning we have never lost sight of our goal!
