This is the second of a series of four illustrated volumes which bring together, in chronological order, many of the most exciting exploits in the adventurous career of Horatio Hornblower, C. S. Forester's naval hero of the Nelson epoch. Although most young readers will want to own the whole set, each volume can be enjoyed as a story in itself. Hornblower Takes Command is taken from the pages of Hornblower And The Atropos and The Happy Return, with a commentary by the editor where necessary. Geoffrey Whittam's illustrations capture all the excitement which has made the Hornblower saga a favourite with readers of all ages.
