| The Broad Highway |
| Jeffery Farnol (1878 - 1952) |
Publishers Weekly #1 Best Seller for 1911.
Farnol developed the Regency Romance genre. Books in this style invoked the literature and language of the English Regency period, more or less around the time of the Napoleonic wars and the French revolution.
Farnol's first novel, a swashbuckling story of the highroads of Kent in the Regency era, is still regarded as a classic and catapulted him to fame.
