About the author
Founded by Archibald Constable in Edinburgh in 1795, Constable began as a bookselling and publishing business that grew into a notable name in British publishing. Over time, the firm became associated with major literary and reference works and built a reputation that lasted well beyond its original era.
In 1999, Constable & Co. merged with Robinson Publishing to form Constable & Robinson. The company was later acquired by Little, Brown Book Group, and Constable continues as an imprint within that larger publishing group.
Rather than a single author, Constable is a publishing house with a long history of bringing many writers to readers. Its story is part of the wider history of British publishing, linking an eighteenth-century foundation to a still-active modern imprint.
