    Henry De Vere Stacpoole

    Henry De Vere Stacpoole (1863-1951) was an Irish novelist. Born in Kingstown, Ireland—now Dún Laoghaire—Stacpoole served as a ship’s doctor in the South Pacific Ocean as a young man. His experiences on the other side of the world would inspire much of his literary work, including his revered romance novel The Blue Lagoon (1908). Stacpoole wrote dozens of novels throughout his career, many of which have served as source material for feature length films. He lived in rural Essex before settling on the Isle of Wight in the 1920s, where he spent the remainder of his life.

      Why Did He Die So Young?

      Jul 8, 2022

      It’s amazing what you can find online. I’d been wondering how to locate a 19th century American newspaper to see whether the death of a Dominick ‘Riboloti’, spotted in a transcript at Findmypast, is a simple typo for my 3x great-uncle Dominick Ribold

      How not TO RELAX

      Apr 10, 2024

      ‘What is this life if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare?’ wrote a chap called William H. Davies, the poet laureate of the duvet day. He coined those words in 1911, which was clearly a more relaxed age. I’d like to see Mr Davies attemp
