Wordsworth Editions LTD blev grundlagt i 1987, men opnåede for alvor sin berømmelse med lanceringen af £1 Classic paperbacks i 1992, en revolutionerende idé fra den nu afdøde Michael Trayler. Dette initiativ gjorde det muligt at tilbyde klassiske værker til en brøkdel af prisen, hvilket gjorde dem yderst attraktive for litteraturelskere.
Forlaget fortsætter med at fejre vækst og innovation, samtidig med at de holder fokus på kvalitet, bæredygtighed og tilgængelighed.
