Farnol lived for eight years in America, working as a scene painter. He returned to England after the successful publication of his first novel, The Broad Highway (1910), originally written some years earlier. This established his reputation for stories of the open road set in the past, often in the Georgian or Regency period. The Amateur Gentleman (1913) is probably his best remembered novel. Other works include My Lady Caprice, also known as Chronicles of the Imp, (1912), Beltane the Smith (1915), Our Admirable Betty (1918), Peregrine's Progress (1922) and Lonely Road (1938). |
