Crosbie Garstin (7 May 1887 – 1930) was an English novelist, poet, adventurer, and artist, remembered chiefly for his vivid and adventurous novels. Born in Penzance, Cornwall, he was the son of the artist Norman Garstin. Demonstrating a zest for life similar to the characters he created, Garstin led a tempestuous and roving life, which included serving in the Boer War and World War I before embarking upon his writing career. His most notable work, 'The Mud Larks' showcases his characteristic blend of humor and adventure, engaging readers with its portrayal of life and exploits in the British Army during World War I. Garstin's work often reflects his own extensive travels and experiences, immersing his audience in a mix of escapades and lyrical descriptions of the landscapes he cherished. Throughout his literary career, Garstin cultivated a narrative style that combined swashbuckling romance, with a keen eye for detail and a deeply ingrained love of his native Cornish landscape. This literary style, alongside his portrayal of spirited characters, won him a dedicated readership during his lifetime. Unfortunately, his career was cut tragically short when he disappeared while sailing off the Isles of Scilly, turning him into a legend almost as adventurous as the characters he penned.
