David Forrest is a pen-name used by 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), 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: Dinosaur and Nephew deal with the cold war, Deluge with religion.
After me, the deluge was a big success, becoming an opera-rock written by the Italians Garinei & Giovannini ( Aggiungi un posto a tavola - Beyond the Rainbow) that is still (2005) represented in theaters worldwide. The great dinosaur robbery became a Disney movie, One of Our Dinosaurs is Missing (1975), which was also highly considered in its time. Despite that, all these books are currently out-of-print and fetch high prices as collectibles.
David Forrest is also a pen-name used by David Denholm to write The Last Blue Sea (1959)), a novel about the conflict between Australia and Japan during World War II. See the Battle of Buna-Gona and the Battle of Milne Bay.
