THOMAS BOREMAN (1730–1743) was one of the earliest English children's book publishers particularly dealing with animals. His bookshops were located around London. Boreman published along with Richard Ware and Thomas Game from the 1730s. His Three Hundred Animals was the first, published ca 1730 and written for children. He published approximately a dozen titles. Many of his books were based on Konrad Gesner's Historia animalium (1551) and some were inspired by Edward Topsell's Historie of Foure-Footed Beastes (1607). Boreman's work itself is thought to have inspired Buffon's publication of the Histoire naturelle (1749–88).
