Macmillan was founded in 1843 by Daniel and Alexander Macmillan, two brothers from a crofting family on the Scottish Isle of Arran: Daniel was the business brain, while Alexander laid the literary foundations, publishing great authors and poets including Lewis Carroll, Christina Rosetti and Thomas Hardy. Pan was founded 100 years later by Alan Bott and became one of the first popular paperback publishers in the UK. Pan published many famous authors for the first time in paperback, including Ian Fleming and Agatha Christie. In 1987, Pan became wholly owned by Macmillan and the company became known as Pan Macmillan.
