In this beautifully illustrated book, the popular novelist provides a historical naval context to the adventures of the hero of his many books, Horatio Hornblower. Thirty-full-page maps help the reader follow Hornblower's world travels and decorative sketches convey the atmosphere as well as the actions.

The Hornblower Companion (Horatio Hornblower Series)

FROM THE PUBLISHER

In The Hornblower Companion, C.S. Forester sets out to describe and illuminate, using beautifully drawn charts, all the incidents which his fictional hero experienced. Starting with Mr Midshipman Hornblower and running through to Hornblower in the West Indies, he has picked out some thirty adventures and incidents which are clearly described and vividly illustrated so that any reader of the novels may have the clearest possible understanding of both their significance and the sequence of events which occur in the novels. In the second part of the book the author describes how the novels were written, what inspired the adventures and how they relate to the real world of the Royal Navy.
