New York: Signet, 1990. Later printing. Mass market paperback. 983, [9] pages. Illustration. Kenneth Martin Follett, CBE, FRSL (born 5 June 1949) is a Welsh author of thrillers and historical novels who has sold more than 160 million copies of his works. Many of his books have achieved high ranking on best seller lists. For example, in the US, many reached the number 1 position on the New York Times Best Seller list, including Edge of Eternity, Fall of Giants, A Dangerous Fortune, The Key to Rebecca, Lie Down with Lions, Triple, Winter of the World, and World Without End. Follett has had a number of novels made into films and television mini series: Eye of the Needle was made into an acclaimed film, starring Donald Sutherland, and six novels have been made into television mini-series: The Key to Rebecca, Lie Down with Lions, On Wings of Eagles (1986), The Third Twin and The Pillars of the Earth (2010) and World Without End (2012). These last two have been screened in several languages in many countries. Follett also had a cameo role as the valet in The Third Twin and later as a merchant in The Pillars of the Earth. The Kingsbridge series could be seen as depicting the shifting relations between the Kingsbridge Priory and the Kingsbridge merchants and artisans. In Pillars of the Earth, monks and townspeople are allies, standing together against the Earl of Shiring. Building the cathedral is a joint effort benefiting both - the cathedral's construction draws new inhabitants and trade, turning Kingsbridge from a backwater village into a thriving town, while the Priory's income from taxing this increasing trade finances the continued construction of the cathedral.

The book, Where the Wild Things Are, also had a huge influence on his path to becoming an artist, drawn by the rich story telling using mostly images. Matt has worked professionally for over 27 years as an artist. His formal training has been in Illustration. Most of those 27 years have been spent as an artist at Hallmark Cards creating illustrations for greeting cards. A large focus has been card product.
