Korte biografie
John Jeffery Farnol was born in Aston, Birmingham, England, UK, son of Kate Jeffery and Henry John Farnol, a factory-employed brass-founder. The marriage was to produce three more children, two boys and a girl. He was brought up in London and Kent. He attended the Westminster Art School, after he had lost his job in a Birmingham metal-working firm. In 1900, he married Blanche Wilhelmina Victoria Hawley (1883-1955), the 16 year-old daughter of the noted New York scenic artist H. Hughson Hawley; they moved to the United States, where he found work as a scene painter. They had a daughter, Gillian. He returned to England around 1910, and settled in Eastbourne, Sussex. In 1938, he divorced and remarried Phyllis Mary Clarke on 20 May, and adopted her daughter, Charmian Jane. He died aged 73 in Eastbourne on 9 August 1952, after a long battle with cancer.

He published his first romance novel My Lady Caprice in 1907. The success of his early novels led Farnol to become a professional writer. He produced around 40 novels and volumes of stories, and some non-fiction and children's books. His last book was completed by his second wife Phyllis. Two of his early books, The Amateur Gentleman and The Broad Highway, have been issued in a version edited by mediatic romance novelist Barbara Cartland.

Sort of skimmed it. Cute in sections, but there were whole chapters that failed to hold my interest, where the ne'er-do-wells plot and scheme in thick nineteenth century New York slang. The rest of the plot is about Geoffrey, a wealthy young man who decides he needs more purpose in life and finds it by renting a room at a tenement house for impoverished people and seeing how the other side lives. Of course, he immediately falls in love with a poor but noble gentlewoman who is bending her every effort to put food on the table and keep her young brother out of serious trouble.… (meer)

Pretty cute, quick read. When George Bellew is rejected by the girl he thought he would marry, he asks his butler for advice. The butler finally concedes his opinion that George was never in love at all, but summarizes the typical ways men act when they are crossed in love. George decides his best option is to disappear. So he sets off on a walking tour. Before too long he meets a little boy, also named George, who lives with his maiden aunt. The two Georges take to one another immediately. The aunt is beautiful and young, but plagued by money troubles. The usual sort of thing ensues. Nice side characters. Cute little boy.… (meer)
