About us
In May 2006, we acquired from IPC Media the rights, again with the exception of some comic strips, to a number of nursery magazines published at the same time as Look and Learn including: Jack and Jill (1954-85), Playhour (1954-87), Harold Hare (1959-64), Teddy Bear (1963-73), Robin (1953-69), Swift (1954-63), and Once Upon a Time (1969-73). As a consequence of these purchases, we now own the rights to one of the largest and most beautiful archives of children's illustrations in the world, more than a hundred comic characters, and a text library of many millions of words that covers most subjects of perennial interest to children. In September 2006, we launched this website primarily to revive interest in, and encourage use of, the illustrations that appeared in Look and Learn and the other magazines. Shortly after the website’s launch, Century – an imprint of Random House – commissioned The Bumper Book of Look and Learn, a lavish 256-page tribute to the magazine. The material for this miscellany was selected from the entire run of twenty years, and chosen to convey the wonderful story of the past and glimpse into the future. Its ingenious contents are illustrated in full colour with some of the most beautiful images in our archive, and we are particularly pleased to have been able to reprint an entire episode of The Trigan Empire as drawn by Don Lawrence. Further information about Look and Learn is available in the history of Look and Learn section.
