June 6 - June 10 I trace my roots to London in the 1700s and to companies in the 1800s that were involved in construction and that published Edgar Allan Poe and Nathaniel Hawthorne. Today, with a market value topping $14billion, I'm the world's leading education company, a top business-information company and a major general publisher. My properties include the Penguin brand, the Financial Times newspaper, and names such as Scott Foresman, Prentice Hall, Addison-Wesley, Allyn and Bacon, Benjamin Cummings, Longman, Putnam, Viking, Dorling Kindersley, Puffin and Ladybird. I have a 50percent stake in The Economist, as well. Who am I? (Taken from The Columbus Dispatch, June 5, 2011 by Motley Fool)
