Mills and Boon.
Gerald Mills and Charles Boon founded this publishing house in 1908.
Although their name is now synonymous with light romantic fiction, they formerly had much wider interests. Their early authors included P G Wodehouse, Jack London and Hugh Walpole, and for a time they also published educational and technical works.
