HAMMOND INNES
Hammond Innes (1913-1998) wrote over 30 books – thrillers with sturdy, plain-speaking British heroes at the centre; ordinary men caught up in impossible events. Innes journeyed all over the world, working as a journalist, whaler, soldier, but primarily sailing the high seas and racing in his yacht the Mary Deare. He turned all of his adventures into stories, and many of them were bestsellers.
We will reissue four of his novels in Vintage Classics in June 2013, and have just designed fresh new covers, with commissioned illustrations from Chris Coady. They have the right balance of nostalgia and vintage adventure, with a colourful, modern appeal.
