Rob Lloyd Jones contributed two anthology-style books for Usborne that stand apart from his illustrated story collections and early reader series. The Amazing Discoveries of 100 Brilliant Scientists (2020) is a nonfiction title that gives young readers profiles of scientists across history and across disciplines, presenting science as a subject accessible to all.
Forgotten Fairy Tales of Brave and Brilliant Girls (2023) follows a different approach, gathering fairy tales from various traditions that feature clever, brave, and resourceful female protagonists. The title reflects a broader Usborne push to bring less-known folk and fairy tales to children who may be familiar only with the most widely adapted versions.
Both books work as gifts and reference titles as much as cover-to-cover reads.
