PEACOCK BOOKS




THIS PAGE 'PK'






Penguin attempted to make the transition between children's and adult reading with this series, intending to pitch it somewhere between the two. The series was launched in October 1962 with PK1 National Velvet by Enid Bagnold, which had appeared in January 1940 as No. 232. As with PK1, a number of the books had been previously issued as part of th main series. Also a number of the Peacocks subsequently became Puffin Story Books.

This early teenage market was a difficult one to sustain, and of course fashions and trends changed. The series did not do well, but from 1977 made a slight come-back under the editorship of Tony Lacey. The series ended in 1979 after complaints that some of the titles included were not appropriate for the target groupp. About 150 titles were produced in the Peacock Series
