Overview

Fábula is a Portuguese publishing imprint dedicated to children's and young adult literature. It was created in 2017 by 20|20 Editora and became part of Penguin Random House in 2021 following the merger of the two publishing groups. The imprint targets a demanding and attentive readership that seeks literary, graphic and didactic quality. All of its works are recommended for independent reading or classroom use, and many are included in Portugal's National Reading Plan (Plano Nacional de Leitura) and/or the official guidelines of the Ministry of Education. A notable collection is Tesouros da Literatura Juvenil, which publishes some of the most important universal works for children. Fábula has a sister imprint, Fábula Educação, which shares the same values applied to school support books. The imprint operates within Penguin Random House Grupo Editorial Portugal, the Portuguese- and Spanish-language division of the international Penguin Random House group, itself part of Bertelsmann. The group has been present in Portugal since 2014 and aims to awaken a passion for reading through books that respond to diverse tastes and the needs of a plural society.
