David Forrest is a pen-name used by Robert Forrest-Webb and David Eliades to write four books, After Me, the Deluge (1972), The Great Dinosaur Robbery (1970), And to My Nephew Albert I Leave the Island What I Won off Fatty Hagan in a Poker Game (1969), and The Undertaker's Dozen (1974). These books were an example of tight plotlines and riotous humor, touching at the same time some serious topics: Dinosaur and Nephew deal with the Cold War, Deluge with religion.

After Me, the Deluge was a big success, becoming an opera-rock written by the Italians Garinei & Giovannini ( Aggiungi un posto a tavola - Beyond the Rainbow) that is still represented in theaters worldwide. The Great Dinosaur Robbery became a Disney movie, One of Our Dinosaurs Is Missing (1975), which was also highly considered in its time. Despite that, all these books are currently out-of-print.
