Philip Lindsay (1906-1958), the third son of Norman Lindsay, settled in England in 1929. His first novel, 'Panama is Burning' (1932) 'continued that interest in piracy which had obsessed his family since the 1890s. He then took to writing historical romances of the Tudor and later medieval periods.... Writing with verbal exuberance and violent colour, Philip Lindsay published a historical novel or monograph (and sometimes two) almost every year. He acknowledged the mastery of Sir Walter Scott, admired Richard III as a king and was a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland' ('Australian Dictionary of Biography').
