Ken Follett has written a prequel to his most popular novel The Pillars of the Earth, which was first published in 1989 and has sold 27 million copies worldwide. His new book The Evening and the Morning will be published in Autumn 2020.
The Evening and the Morning takes place around the year 1,000 when England is under constant attack from Vikings and soon to be conquered by Normans. The theme of the story is the origins of a legal system that does not merely serve its ruling chieftains.
Follett said, 'The story is set at the end of the Dark Ages and the beginning of the Middle Ages, so it's an evening and a morning. And the phrase is Biblical, of course: 'And the evening and the morning were the first day'. This is a time when people began to demand what we call the rule of law, which means that disputes are settled according to rules, regardless of how rich and powerful you are.'

Ken Follett was born in Cardiff, Wales. Barred from watching films and television by his parents, he developed an early interest in reading thanks to a local library. After studying philosophy at University College London, he became involved in centre-left politics, entering into journalism soon after. His first thriller, the wartime spy drama Eye of the Needle, became an international bestseller and has sold over 10 million copies. He then astonished everyone with his first historical novel, The Pillars of the Earth, the story of the building of a medieval cathedral, which went on to become one of the most beloved books of the twentieth century. One of the most popular authors in the world, his many books including the Kingsbridge series and the Century trilogy - a body of work which together chronicles over a thousand years of history - and his latest novel Never - which envisages how World War III could happen - have sold more than 188 million copies. A father and husband, Ken lives with his wife in England and enjoys travelling the world when he can.
