Gareth Stevens, Inc. is a publishing company originally based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It was founded in 1983 by its namesake owner, a former Briton who moved to Raintree Publishers.[1] The company is owned by Weekly Reader Corporation, part of The Reader's Digest Association.
Gareth Stevens largely specialises in children's non-fiction reference. Along with its main arm, Gareth Stevens Publishing, its imprints include Weekly Reader Early Imprint Library and World Almamac Library.[2]
In 1991 and 1992, it published the first seven Beechwood Bunny Tales. The translators were MaryLee Knowlton, Amy Bauman and Patricia Lantier-Sampon, all of whom were Gareth Stevens regulars. However, the company's web site does not list this series in its catalog.
