David Fickling Books Ltd (DFB) was founded in 1999[1] and became an independent publishing house in July 2013 following 12 years (2001-2013) with Scholastic and later Random House.[2][3] They have published several prize-winning and bestselling books including Lyra's Oxford (from the world of His Dark Materials) by Philip Pullman, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon, The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas by John Boyne, Bing Bunny by Ted Dewan, Pants by Nick Sharratt and Giles Andreae, Before I Die by Jenny Downham, Trash by Andy Mulligan (shortly to be a major movie with script by Richard Curtis) and A Boy and a Bear in a Boat by Dave Shelton.
They are the only other publishing house to have ever won the Branford Boase Award three times, other than Chicken House’s Barry Cunningham.[4][3]
DFB also works closely with The Phoenix, a weekly story comic for children which David Fickling founded.[5]
