About the author
Founded in London in 1848 by John Cassell, Cassell & Company became one of the best-known British publishing houses of the nineteenth century. It built its reputation on a wide range of books and magazines, including educational, reference, religious, and general-interest titles, and expanded steadily as reading audiences grew.
By the 1890s, the firm had developed into an international publishing group. Its long history included several later business changes and acquisitions, but the Cassell name remained closely associated with accessible, wide-reaching publishing for ordinary readers as well as serious reference works.
For audiobook listeners and book lovers, the name Cassell often signals a connection to an important chapter in publishing history: a house that helped circulate knowledge, entertainment, and practical reading to a broad public over many decades.
