Per Wikipedia, Jeffery Farnol (1878 ? 1952) Was A British Writer From 1907 Until His Death In 1952, Known For Writing More Than 40 Romance Novels, Often Set In The Georgian Era Or English Regency Period, And Swashbucklers. He, With Georgette Heyer, Largely Initiated The Regency Romantic Genre. His Nephew Was Ewart Oakeshott, The British Illustrator, Collector, And Amateur Historian, Who Wrote On Medieval Arms And Armour. Farnol 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 About 40 Novels And Volumes Of Stories, And Some Non-Fiction And Children's Books. His Last Book Was Completed By His Second Wife Phyllis. This Moderate Success Was Followed By The Broad Highway, A Publishing Sensation Which Became The Best-Selling Book Of 1911 In The World. Two Of His Early Books, The Amateur Gentleman And The Broad Highway, Have Been Issued In A Version Edited By Romance Novelist Barbara Cartland. The Amateur Gentleman Was Adapted For British Cinema In 1920 And 1936, And For American Cinema In 1926 See less
