Although he is more widely known for his novel \u003ci\u003eThe Blue Lagoon\u003c\/i\u003e (1908), which inspired the 1980 hit drama starring Brooke Shields, Stacpoole was a prolific bestselling author whose dozens of literary works allow the reader to enter the world of nautical adventure. \"It was as though deep in his being lay a blazing hatred born of injustice through ages and only coming to light when upborne by balloon-juice. On these occasions a saloon bar with its glitter and phantom show of mirth and prosperity sometimes called on him to dispense and destroy it, the passion to fight the crowd seized him, a passion that has its origin, perhaps, in sources other than alcohol.\" In his youth, Henry De Vere Stacpoole sailed across the South Pacific as a ship's doctor, gathering the raw imaginative materials that would inspire dozens of romance and adventure novels. In \u003ci\u003eThe Beach of Dreams\u003c\/i\u003e, a yacht collides with a fishing vessel in the middle of the South Pacific, leaving few alive. The survivors-a rich woman and a pair of weathered sailors-attempt to survive on a nearby island, but soon the men prove impossible to trust. In her darkest hour, Cleo de Bromsart encounters Raft, a brash and brave fisherman with striking red hair and a hatred of injustice. Together, they form an alliance against the elements and await their day of rescue.
