David Cordingly - Cochrane the Dauntless: The Life and Adventures of Thomas Cochrane

September 2008 to January 2009

David is available all year around for audiences of 60+
www.bloomsbury.com/davidcordingly

Patrick O'Brian, C. S. Forester and Captain Marryat all based their literary heroes on Thomas Cochrane, but as David Cordingly shows, Cochrane's own real life exploits were far more daring and exciting than those of his fictional counterparts. Drawing on his own travels, wide reading and the kind of original research that distinguished Billy Ruffian, David Cordingly tells the rip-roaring story of the ultimate Romantic hero who helped define his age.
