Ken Follett is one of the world’s best-loved authors,
selling more than 160 million copies of his thirty books. Follett’s
first bestseller was Eye of the Needle, a spy story set in the
Second World War.
In 1989 The Pillars of the Earth was published, and has
since become the author’s most successful novel. It reached number
one on bestseller lists around the world and was an Oprah’s Book
Club pick.
Its sequels, World Without End and A Column of Fire,
proved equally popular, and the Kingsbridge series has sold 38
million copies worldwide.
Follett lives in Hertfordshire, England, with his wife Barbara.
Between them they have five children, six grandchildren, and three
Labradors.
