Biography

Here is the next person biography:

Ken Follett's early life was marked by a strong connection to literature, despite being forbidden to consume popular media such as television, radio, and cinema by his parents, who belonged to the Plymouth Brethren, a Protestant sect similar to the Baptists. At the age of seven, he discovered the works of H.G. Wells and Ian Fleming, and his passion for literature only grew stronger as he read more. When he was ten years old, his family relocated to London, where he finished school and later studied philosophy at the University of London. This subject choice was driven by his curiosity about world religions and his desire to understand the explanations they offered.
