โฆ Synopsis
Imagine being one of only a handful of lucky souls to escape a horrific shipwreck alive only to discover that the island you've washed up on is a popular waypoint for marauding pirate crews. Will these scrappy survivors make it home? Read Harry Collingwood's The Pirate Island to find out.
Harry Collingwood is the pseudonym of William Joseph Cosens Lancaster. The son of a naval officer, Lancaster was educated at the Royal Naval College, Greenwich. Poor eye sight meant he could not pursue a career at sea and instead became a civil engineer specialising in harbour design.
He wrote prolifically, publishing more than twenty nautically themed novels.
