Although the early emphasis of the company had been on religion and education, Collins also published more widely. In 1917 , with Sir Godfrey Collins in charge, the firm started publishing fiction. William Collins, Sons & Co. published all but the first six of Agatha Christie 's novels. Upon purchasing the rights to the works of C.S. Lewis , Fount was established as Collins's religion imprint. In 1989 Collins was taken over by Rupert Murdoch 's News Corporation . Joined together with the US publisher Harper & Row , they now trade under the name HarperCollins. ''Collins'' is still used as an Imprint , chiefly for Wildlife and Natural History books (including the on-going New Naturalist Series ) and Field Guide s, as well as English and bilingual dictionaries based on the Bank Of English , a large Corpus of contemporary English texts. In 1999 , News Corporation purchased the Hearst Book Group consisting of William Morrow & Company and Avon Books. {Link without Title} Its web site home page describes it as "Home of William Morrow, Avon, Perennial, Rayo, Amistad, Caedmon Audio, Regan Books".
