He was born in Aston , Birmingham and 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 Hawley, daughter of the noted New York scenic artist Hughson Hawley ; they moved to the USA, where he found work as a scene painter. (edit added -- no accounting or history has been made in the available online bio and bio-bibliographic work of Farnol's first published novel: "My Lady Caprice" published in 1907 by Dodd Mead Co in an exquisite example of late Victorian, early Jazz Age binding and illustration. I have added this title to the bibliography below.) The success of his early novels led Farnol to become a professional writer; he returned to England around 1910, and settled on the south coast. He produced around 40 novels and volumes of stories, and some non-fiction and children's books. He died after a long battle with Cancer . His last book was completed by his second wife Phyllis (nee Clarke), whom he had married in 1938. WORKS
