Ernest Benn Limited

Ernest Benn Limited was a British publishing house.

[1] After Sir John was elected to Parliament in 1892, he passed control of the firm to his eldest son Ernest, who became managing director and started publishing more trade journals, such as Gas World, the Fruit Grower and the Electrician, as well as "technical books for each specialized public".

He later recruited the writers Edith Nesbit, Robert W. Service and H. G.

[citation needed] Thanks to Gollancz's gifts as a publisher, the company's turnover increased 100-fold in seven years.

[5] The firm published a number of books for children and young people, including The Story of the Amulet (1927) by E. Nesbit, Moominsummer Madness (1955) by Tove Jansson, Donkey Days (1977) by Helen Cresswell, and Sybil and the Blue Rabbit (1979) by Jane Johnson.
