Gervase Fen, Oxford Professor of English Language and Literature, claims to be "the only literary critic turned detective in the whole of fiction". The corpse of Yseut Haskell, an actress, was deposited almost at the door of his college rooms. He immediately knew who was responsible.
The first ten paperback Penguin books appeared in 1935 costing 6d each (the price of a packet of cigarettes). Since then the Penguin list has developed enormously, but still aims to bring the best writing to the widest possible audience. Penguin Paperbacks now range from Booker Prize-winning contemporary authors, to mass market bestsellers, with successful history, biography and general non-fiction as well.
