He, with Georgette Heyer, largely initiated the Regency romantic genre. BiographyPersonal lifeJohn Jeffery Farnol was born in the UK in England in Aston, Birmingham, the son of Henry John Farnol, a factory-employed brass-founder, and Kate Jeffery. He had two brothers and a sister.[1] His childhood was spent in London and Kent. He attended the Westminster School of Art after losing his job with a Birmingham metal-working company. In 1900, he married Blanche Wilhelmina Victoria Hawley (1883–1955), the 16-year-old daughter of noted New York scenic artist H. Hughson Hawley. They relocated to the United States, where he found work as a scene painter. They had a daughter, Gillian Hawley. He returned to England about 1910, and settled in Eastbourne, Sussex. During 1938, he divorced, and married Phyllis Mary Clarke on 20 May, and adopted her daughter, Charmian Jane.[2] His nephew was Ewart Oakeshott, the British illustrator, collector and amateur historian, who wrote on medieval arms and armour. On 9 August 1952 Jeffery Farnol died aged 73 in Eastbourne, UK, after a long struggle with cancer. Writing careerFarnol 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. 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, American cinema in 1926. BibliographySingle novels
