YatPundit Podcast - TGIF! Denmark, Sweden, and memories of Hornblower novels

TGIF from Denmark! Talking about a childhood experience reading about this region, Hornblower novels, and libraries/librarians.

Some stuff to put the Hornblower talk into perspective:

The pinpoint is the location of my hotel. This is the narrow passage Hornblower's fictional squadron made in 1810, in Forester's novel, Commodore Hornblower.

Zoom-in on the passage. Hornblower's strategy was to keep close to the Danish side of the strait, trying to avoid the Swedish guns at Malmo.

Gregory Peck as Horatio Hornblower in the 1951 film, Captain Hornblower.  Peck's Hornblower is closer in age than the A&E mini-series, where he's just a Midshipman and Lieutenant.
