C S Forester
Growing up C. S. Forester was my favorite high school
novelist.....In fact his set of novels regarding the
exploits of Horatio Hornblower was the subject of one
of my senior year English "papers"......
Most of his novels are about the sea or ships, in one
form or another......Besides Hornblower, he wrote the
African Queen, The Gun (which was retitled The Pride
And The Passion for the movie).......The British also used
a couple of his novels for their cinema.....
So if you know a young man or boy who wants to smell
the smoke from a full broadside of 10 pound cannon drift
from the pages of a book, C. S. Forester is your author....
