BiographyHistory

Arthur Barker Limited was founded in London by Arthur Barker in 1932, and published a range of general titles, with an emphasis on fiction. During the Second World War Barker was a Japanese prisoner-of-war, and publishing was suspended between 1939 and 1946. The firm was purchased by the printing company Morrison and Gibb in 1946, and in 1959 sold to George Weidenfeld, where it became an imprint of Weidenfeld and Nicolson. The imprint ceased in 1991.
