The famous publishing house, that sired such names as Ezra Pound and Ted Hughes, is just about to celebrate its 80th birthday!
Still a privately owned company (50% by T S Eliot's wife), still in the mecca of publishing in Bloomsbury, still maintaining standards of writing that has marked the twentieth century in British publishing as epoch making.
For me, it is a personal kneeling at the altar because I have worshipped, Eliot, Pound, Plath, Auden, Larkin, Heaney, et al since I first worked near Faber & Faber's offices in Russell Square in the 1960s.
If you have not delved into the treasure trove that is F & F, do so. If you, like me, you can't get enough, go to: www.timesonline.co.uk/books
