Books for Students
Lion Hudson plc resulted from the merger in December 2003 of Lion Publishing plc and Angus Hudson Ltd. The merger created the largest independent publisher of books inspired by the Christian faith and its values in the UK. The company is owned by more than 800 individual and institutional investors.
Lion Publishing was founded in 1971 in order to publish books about Christianity for general and international marketplaces. Angus Hudson founded his imprint in 1977 to publish international co-editions for Christian communities around the world. In the 1990s his company acquired the Candle imprint of children’s books in the UK and then the Monarch range of books for adults.
Lion Hudson thus publishes books under four different imprints. Lion and Lion Children’s Books take Christian values into the general marketplace; Candle and Monarch support Christian families, individuals and communities in their devotional and spiritual lives. The company’s books sell all round the world, international co-editions being a particular strength. Over 50% of turnover is earned in export markets and titles have been translated into more than 170 different languages.
In recent years Lion and Angus Hudson books have won numerous prizes including the Smarties prize for children’s fiction (for Pauline Fisk’s Midnight Blue), the Angoulême International Graphic Book Festival award (for The Lion Graphic Bible), and 20 separate prizes at the annual UK Christian Booksellers Convention.
