That is pretty close , not what I was thinking of , but,this one has been around ages... so take it away! I was actually thinking of the fact that Kipling went to Westward Ho! School and Kingsley wrote Westward Ho!

Yep, ren, I looked it up and you were right! "Westward Ho!" was the name of the Devon school Kipling attended. And now, here's a very unusual chain of links: "The Four Feathers", Ernest Hemingway and Alfred Hitchcock! Can you figure out the connection? tjoeb};>

Could this have something to do with "The Birds"?

No, the author of "Four Feathers", A.E.W. Mason, wrote a story, "The Crystal Trench" that Hemingway mentioned in his "The Sun Also Rises" and Hitchcock later directed as a teleplay on his TV show. tjoeb};>
