Already an Edgar Award winning thriller writer, Ken Follett astounded his publisher as well as readers in 1989 with The Pillars of the Earth, an epic, page-turning portrait of Kingsbridge, a 12th century English village that becomes the site for a magnificent cathedral. Years later he returned to Kingsbridge to continue the saga in World Without End and A Column of Fire, both included in this slipcased set, along with Follett's heartfelt tribute to Notre-Dame, written in the wake of the devastating 2019 fire.
