About the Book

Two Gallant Sons of Devon: A Tale of the Days of Queen Bess by Harry Collingwood explores themes of adventure, courage, and loyalty set against the backdrop of the late 16th century. The novel centers on two young men whose lives are transformed as they are drawn into the world of privateering and naval warfare. Themes of personal growth and transformation emerge as the protagonists navigate their shift from peaceful sailors to brave privateers, facing challenges that test their character and resolve. The story delves into the value of friendship and camaraderie, as the two friends rely on each other in the face of danger and uncertainty. It also explores the complexities of duty and honor, particularly as they engage in battles against the Spanish and confront moral dilemmas that come with the thrill of piracy. The novel highlights the spirit of adventure and the pursuit of glory, with the high seas serving as a metaphor for the unpredictability of life. Ultimately, it reflects on the nature of heroism and the choices individuals make when thrust into extraordinary circumstances.

About the Author :
Harry Collingwood was the pseudonym of William Joseph Cosens Lancaster (23 May 1843 - 10 June 1922), a British civil engineer and novelist who wrote over 40 boys' adventure tales, the majority of which were set on the sea. Collingwood was the eldest son of master mariner Captain William Lancaster (1813 - (1861 - 1871)) and Anne, née Cosens. According to his birth certificate, he was born on May 23, 1843 at 9:30 a.m. at Concord Place in Weymouth, Dorset. Collingwood was the first of the couple's three children. He was eight years old when his sister Ada Louise was born, and twelve when his sister Sarah Anne (1 June 1853 - 27 December 1941) was born. Both ladies were listed as draper helpers on the 1871 census. Collingwood's father had died by that time, and his mother lived with her daughters until her death. Ada never married and lived with her sister after leaving her family home. Sarah Anne married Mathew Smellie in St Michaels, Toxteth, Liverpool, Lancashire, on June 30, 1880. Harold Ernest Smellie, born on April 11, 1881, died on April 30, 1961. Harold, Collingwood's nephew, registered his death in 1922.
