Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Ship of Stars
Found in a chapter of Remembrances by that true poet and large-hearted man, Robert Stephen Hawker. But a novel ought to be true to more than fact and if this one come near its aim, no one will need to be told why I dedicate it to you. If it do not (and I wish the chance could be despised its author will yet hold that among the names of living Englishmen he could have chosen none fitter to be inscribed above a story which in the telling has insensibly come to rest upon the two texts, Lord, make men as towers! And All towers carry a light. Although for you Heaven has seen fit to darken the light, believe me it shines outwards over the waters and is a help to men: a guiding light tended by brave hands. We pray, sir - we who sail in little boats - for long life to the tower and the unfaltering lamp.
