David Forrest (pseudonym)

David Forrest (pseudonym)

David Forrest is a pen-name used by English novelists Robert Forrest-Webb and David Eliades to write four books, After Me, the Deluge (1972), The Great Dinosaur Robbery (1970), And to My Nephew Albert I Leave the Island What I Won off Fatty Hagan in a Poker Game (1969),[1] and The Undertaker's Dozen (1974). These books were an example of tight plotlines and riotous humor, touching at the same time some serious topics: The Great Dinosaur Robbery and Nephew deal with the Cold War, After Me, the Deluge with religion.

After Me, the Deluge was the base of a musical written by the Italians Pietro Garinei, Sandro Giovannini and Iaia Fiastri (Aggiungi un posto a tavola; English title: Beyond the Rainbow) that is still represented in theaters worldwide.[2] The Great Dinosaur Robbery became a Disney movie, One of Our Dinosaurs Is Missing (1975), which was also highly considered in its time.[3] Despite that, all these books are currently out-of-print.
