About the author
Jeffery Farnol (1878–1952) was a British novelist born in Aston, Birmingham. He studied stage design and later went to the United States to work on scene painting. Over his career he wrote more than forty historical romance and adventure novels, including The Broad Highway, The Amateur Gentleman and Black Bartlemy's Treasure, with thirteen of his works held in this collection. His novels are mostly set in the Regency period and combine romance with adventure in a fluent, popular style. Together with Georgette Heyer, he helped to establish the Regency romance genre. Public information on the details of his life is limited; this introduction is based mainly on his works and their themes.
