David Forrest

Who is David Forrest?

David Forrest is a pen-name used by English novelists Robert Forrest-Webb and David Eliades to write four books, And to My Nephew Albert I Leave the Island What I Won off Fatty Hagan in a Poker Game, The Great Dinosaur Robbery, After Me, the Deluge, and The Undertaker's Dozen. These books featured tight plotlines and riotous humor, touching at the same time some serious topics: The Great Dinosaur Robbery and Nephew deal with the Cold War, After Me, the Deluge with religion.

After Me, the Deluge was the base of a musical written by the Italians Pietro Garinei, Sandro Giovannini and Iaia Fiastri that is still represented in theaters worldwide. The Great Dinosaur Robbery became a Disney movie, One of Our Dinosaurs Is Missing, which was also highly considered in its time. Despite that, all these books are currently out-of-print.
