Founded in 1929, Faber’s first Poetry Editor was none other than T. S. Eliot. One of the world’s great independent publishers, poetry remains one of their key genres with drama and film titles sitting alongside. Prolific publishing in contemporary fiction, crime and thrillers and children's has led to multiple awards including Booker winners and nominees.
Their roster of authors includes Poet Laureate Simon Armitage, author of Paper Aeroplane, the Queen of English Crime P. D. James, whose Adam Dalgliesh series began with Cover Her Face, and Nobel Prize winner Kazuo Ishiguro, famed for The Remains of the Day and Never Let Me Go among multiple bestsellers.
An impressive selection of Children’s Classics completes a publishing list that caters for all. Titles for children include Ted Hughes’ The Iron Man, which features an introduction from Michael Morpurgo, poetry anthology New and Collected Poems for Children by Carol Ann Duffy, and Russell Hoban’s thought-provoking The Mouse and His Child.
