About the brandImagnary House, co-founded by Brad and Alison Harris, is a proudly South African publishing house dedicated to capturing the magic of childhood through its beautifully crafted picture books, chapter books, novels, diaries, and activity books. Born in 2015 from Brad’s deep passion for storytelling and his years of experience in publishing, Imagnary House was created to fill a gap in the African literary landscape, offering authentic and high-quality stories for children and young adults.
The name Imagnary House, a playful misspelling inspired by a child's crayon scribble, perfectly embodies the brand’s commitment to nurturing imagination over rigid rules. When Alison joined in 2018, she brought her art direction expertise, helping to bring their stories and characters to life in new and vibrant ways.
Imagnary House has since grown in heart and spirit, embracing its role as a "small fish" in the big literary pond, while making a lasting impact through its focus on meaningful narratives and enchanting illustrations. Each book is designed to be a keepsake, something that sparks a lifelong love for stories and imagination. Imagnary House is a place where stories are more than just words on a page—they're treasures to be passed down and cherished for generations.
