About
DK (formerly Dorling Kindersley) is a British multinational publisher of illustrated reference books for adults and children, founded in London in 1974 by Christopher Dorling and Peter Kindersley and originally operating as a book packager. Its list spans travel, history, geography, science, space, nature, sport, gardening, cookery and parenting, and it publishes in 63 languages. DK is part of Penguin Random House, wholly owned by Bertelsmann since December 2019, and produces licensed titles with partners including Disney, LEGO, DC Comics and the Smithsonian Institution.
This is a corporate publisher record, not a person. Many DK reference and illustrated titles are genuinely house-authored with no individual writer credited; where a DK book does carry a named author on its title page, that person should be credited on the work instead.
