About Us
View from the landing outside our studio, where we take our breathers and shoot photos of our book covers.
Enchanted Lion Books is an independent children’s book publisher based in Brooklyn, New York. We work with talented authors and artists to publish original books that are brought to life right here in our office. We also publish books in translation and reissues of books from the 1940s, 50s, and 60s, reaching across time and oceans to find new authors and artists and old treasures to share with a new generation of readers. From our original titles, to our books in translations, to our reissues, we seek out books to inspire curiosity, awareness, and wonder in children everywhere.
We live with the books we publish long before they go to press, and we commit to them because they are beautiful and lively, thoughtful and full of feeling. Many evince a fierce belief in the imagination, paying as much attention to inner exploratory landscapes as to the world around us. Books allow us to explore worlds long before we travel and long after. We therefore seek to give children books that will help them feel that this world we share, with all its surprising, wonderful complexity and beauty, is home.
