Beam Ends is a 1937 semi-autobiographical novel by Australian actor Errol Flynn.[1][2][3][4] Upon publication, reviews positioned the book variously as fiction and non-fiction. It was understood as "a graphic account of an adventurous and almost fatal trip that [Flynn] made in a small schooner from Australia to New Guinea."[2] Another reviewer purported that it "deals at length on [Flynn's] Sydney days, and his subsequent voyage up the east coast of Australia."[4]
Beam Ends was Flynn's first novel, although he had written nonfiction for many years.[5]
