Its enduring popularity attests to its quality and the author's skill in bringing the past to life. ## Leonard Eric Cottrell was a prolific and popular British author and journalist². Born in 1913 in Tettenhall, Wolverhampton, his father inspired his interest in history from a very young age. Many of his books were popularisations of the archaeology of ancient Egypt. In the 1930s, Cottrell toured the English countryside on his motorcycle, visiting prehistoric stone circles, burial mounds of the Bronze Age, and medieval and Renaissance monuments. After gaining experience writing articles on historical subjects for motoring magazines, he wrote his first documentary for the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) in 1937.## ## A Revolution in Publishing: Penguin Books, a British publishing house, was co-founded in 1935 by Allen Lane with his brothers Richard and John. It was initially a line of the publishers The Bodley Head, only becoming a separate company the following year.## ## Founding and Early Years: The idea for Penguin Books was conceived by Allen Lane at Exeter St Davids station. Disappointed by the poor quality and high prices of the books on sale, he envisioned a world where good books were accessible. Within a year, he founded Penguin Books, initiating a paperback revolution that democratised quality literature and changed the publishing world forever. ## ## Impact on the Publishing Industry: Penguin Books revolutionised publishing in the 1930s through its inexpensive paperbacks, sold through Woolworths and other stores for sixpence. It brought high-quality fiction and non-fiction to the mass market. Its success demonstrated that large audiences existed for serious books. It also significantly affected modern British popular culture through its books concerning politics, the arts, and science.## ## Penguin Books has also been at the forefront of changes which have altered the world of books forever: from winning the watershed obscenity trial in 1960 to publish D.H. Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover to the controversy around Salman Rushdie's The Satanic Verses, published in 1988.## ## Penguin Classics: The Penguin Classics series has left an indelible mark on literature. From its first affordable translation of Homer's The Odyssey in 1946 to its 21st-century redesign, the Penguin Classics series has shaped the iconic series—more than 3,000 titles published as either Penguin Classics or Modern Classics. ## ## Today, Penguin Books continues to lead the industry. In a constantly changing market, it is stretching the definition of the word publisher: working with talent across the creative spectrum - from TV production companies to A-list audiobook narrators - to connect with more readers than ever before, both through and beyond the book.# #### INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note.
