Autorenporträt
Crosbie Garstin (7 September 1887 – 1930) was an English novelist, poet, and adventurer, whose literary works reflected his extensive travels and dynamic life. He was born in Penzance, Cornwall, the son of the artist Norman Garstin. Crosbie Garstin led a life that could itself inspire novels, serving in both the Boer War and World War I, and traveling across the globe from America to China. His colorful experiences imbued his writing with authenticity and vividness, distinguishing his style as both adventurous and engaging. Garstin is best known for his trilogy of novels, 'The Penhale Trilogy', which includes 'The Owls' House' (1925), 'The West Wind' (1926), and 'High Noon' (1927). 'The Owls' House', perhaps his most celebrated work, is known for its rich portrayal of Cornish life and its intricate narrative structure. His writing often explored themes of nature, the sea, adventure, and the human spirit, underpinned by a deep love for his native Cornwall. Despite his literary successes, Crosbie Garstin's life was tragically cut short when he disappeared on a boating trip in Ireland in 1930, which has led to speculation about his fate and added an air of mystery to his legacy as a writer.
