A big shout out of thanks to Mr. Forester for creating HORNBLOWER, THE AFRICAN QUEEN and so forth.
Yours Aye,

In a few days I'll be attending the annual meeting of the Forester Society. This time held in France, near the Loire. The venue was possibly the real-life example for Château de Graçay. I'm hoping for some references to "Flying Colours". The book of the year is a non-Hornblower one: "The Ship", but I'll keep an eye to it, that the next is HH again . It's not wrong to read something else from the author, it puts the Hornblower novels in a kind of perspective. Mr Forester's son will be there as well. He loves to tell about his life, his opinions about the books and the memories of his father. Maybe I can take some questions from the forum and ask him? Any directions about what I can ask? Leadline, off brushing up my whist

Have a wonderful time. I would love to attend one of these.
Here is a questions that people have been asking since HORNBLOWER first aired here in 1999. -- Is there some reason why the Soundtrack has never been released on CD format (or whatever)? Is there a legal restriction?
Yours Aye,
Diane

I asked because maybe Mr. Forester's son might know.
Yours Aye,
