About the Author

Henry De Vere Stacpoole (1863-1951) was an Irish novelist. Born in Kingstown, Ireland—now Dún Laoghaire—Stacpoole served as a ship’s doctor in the South Pacific Ocean as a young man. His experiences on the other side of the world would inspire much of his literary work, including his revered romance novel The Blue Lagoon (1908). Stacpoole wrote dozens of novels throughout his career, many of which have served as source material for feature length films. He lived in rural Essex before settling on the Isle of Wight in the 1920s, where he spent the remainder of his life.
