Frederick Forsyth Bibliography

More Information

Frederick Forsyth was born in Kent England in 1938 and spent much of his childhood reading adventure stories. He went to a university in Spain before returning to England and joining the RAF in 1956. Next came journalism which saw him travelling all around Europe during the Cold War. This led to the turning point, the war in Biafra, his controversial reporting eventually saw him recalled and his resignation followed. His first novel The Day of the Jackal was turned down by several publishers before being accepted. It was an immediate success going on to sell millions of copies worldwide and also transferring to the silver screen with Edward Fox in the classic film of the same name. Collectors should be able to build a full set of novels without too much difficulty, his popularity has meant large print runs.
