  Nordhoff and Hall collection from Randall House (805) 963-1909
Charles Bernard Nordhoff (1887-1947) was born in England of American parents, raised in southern California, and educated at Stanford and Harvard Universities.
Nordhoff's first book, The Fledgling (1919), is an account, in diary form, of his flying experiences during World War I. Both The Pearl Lagoon, a South Sea adventure, and Picaro, a novel about two brothers in Guadaloupe whose destinies were bound up with airplanes, appeared in 1924.
According to the Dictionary of American Biography, "it was Nordhoff who provided the narrative pace and the action-reaction pattern of character on character, and it was Hall who caught the exact descriptive detail and whose deep philosophic introspection gave moments of pause and reflection".
