Dan Grisewood, one of the first British packagers of nonfiction children's books to penetrate the American market, died June 28 after a long battle with leukemia. He was 68. Grisewood began his publishing career with Macmillan (UK) in 1960 before moving to Andre Deutsch as managing director of the African University Press in Lagos. After returning to England as managing director of MacDonald and Company, Grisewood and partner Michael Dempsey formed the educational book packager Grisewood & Dempsey in 1973, and several years later formed the publishing company Kingfisher. Kingfisher was sold to Groupe de la Cite in 1988, at which point Grisewood became CEO of the Larousse operations in the U.K. and started Kingfisher in the U.S. He retired in 1995.
