Ken Follet

Ken Follet is my favourite writer. He was born on 5 June 1949 in Cardiff, Wales. When Ken Follet was ten years old, he moved with his family to London.

His parents didn’t let him go to the cinema or watch television, so he started to read many books about many different topics.

He started to study philosophy at University College of London in 1967.
Ken Follet studied journalism for three months, but he didn’t find a good job as a reporter, so he started to edit books.

In 1970, Ken Follet became the assistant manager of Libros Everest.

One day, his car broke down, so he decided to start writing to get the money to repair it.

Writing began to be his hobby. At first, his books weren’t very famous, but later, Ken Follet wrote many bestsellers. Some of them are “A Place Called Freedom”, “The Third Twin”, “The Pilars of the Earth”, “Night over Water”, “Fall of Giants” and “The Key to Rebecca”.
