The Broad Highway (Classic Reprint) by Jeffery Farnol Pdf
Excerpt from The Broad Highway As I sat of an early summer morning in the shade of a tree, eating fried bacon with a tinker, the thought came tom that I might some day write a book of my own: a book that should treat of the roads and by-roads, of trees, and wind in lonely places, of rapid brooks and lazy streams, of the glory of dawn, the glow of evening, and the purple solitude of night; a book of wayside inns and sequestered taverns; a book of country things and ways and people. And the thought pleased me much. "But," objected the Tinker, for I had spoken my, thought aloud, "trees and suchlike don't sound very interestin' - leastways - not in a book, for after all a tree's only a tree and an inn, an inn; no, you must tell of other things as well." "Yes," said I, a little damped, "to be sure there is a highwayman -" "Come, that's better!" said the Tinker encouragingly. "Then," I went on, ticking off each item on my fingers, "come Tom Cragg, the pugilist -" "Better and better!" nodded the Tinker. "- a one-legged soldier of the Peninsula, an adventure at a lonely tavern, a flight through woods at midnight pursued by desperate villains, and a most extraordinary tinker. So far so good, I think, and it all sounds adventurous enough." "What!" cried the Tinker. "Would you put me in your book then." "Assuredly."

Jeffery Farnol - The Broad Highway by Jeffery Farnol Pdf
John Jeffery Farnol was born on 10th February 1878 in Aston, Birmingham, England. Farnol's childhood years were spent in London and Kent. After losing his job with a Birmingham metal-working company he returned to London and enrolled in the Westminster School of Art. In 1900, he married Blanche Wilhelmina Victoria Hawley. She was only 16 and the daughter of the noted New York scenic artist H. Hughson Hawley. The couple decided to live in the United States, and Farnol found work as a scene painter. They had one daughter. Obviously, life as a scene-painter was low-key and Farnol had writing talent. He published his first novel 'My Lady Caprice' in 1907. This moderate success was followed by 'The Broad Highway', a publishing sensation, which became the best-selling book of 1911. Over his career he wrote some 40 novels and volumes of short stories together with some non-fiction and children's books. Primarily he is known as a romantic writer of Georgian Era or English Regency. In 1938 Farnol divorced, and married Phyllis Mary Clarke and adopted her daughter, Charmian Jane. Jeffery Farnol died aged 73 on 9th August 1952 in Eastbourne, UK, after a long struggle with cancer.
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER More than ONE MILLION copies sold A TODAY Show Read with Jenna Book Club Pick A New York Times Notable Book, and Chosen by Oprah Daily, Time, NPR, The Washington Post, Bill Gates and Barack Obama as a Best Book of the Year “Wise and wildly entertaining . . . permeated with light, wit, youth.” —The New York Times Book Review “A classic that we will read for years to come.” —Jenna Bush Hager, Read with Jenna book club “Fantastic. Set in 1954, Towles uses the story of two brothers to show that our personal journeys are never as linear or predictable as we might hope.” —Bill Gates “A real joyride . . . elegantly constructed and compulsively readable.” —NPR The bestselling author of A Gentleman in Moscow and Rules of Civility and master of absorbing, sophisticated fiction returns with a stylish and propulsive novel set in 1950s America In June, 1954, eighteen-year-old Emmett Watson is driven home to Nebraska by the warden of the juvenile work farm where he has just served fifteen months for involuntary manslaughter. His mother long gone, his father recently deceased, and the family farm foreclosed upon by the bank, Emmett's intention is to pick up his eight-year-old brother, Billy, and head to California where they can start their lives anew. But when the warden drives away, Emmett discovers that two friends from the work farm have hidden themselves in the trunk of the warden's car. Together, they have hatched an altogether different plan for Emmett's future, one that will take them all on a fateful journey in the opposite direction—to the City of New York. Spanning just ten days and told from multiple points of view, Towles's third novel will satisfy fans of his multi-layered literary styling while providing them an array of new and richly imagined settings, characters, and themes. “Once again, I was wowed by Towles’s writing—especially because The Lincoln Highway is so different from A Gentleman in Moscow in terms of setting, plot, and themes. Towles is not a one-trick pony. Like all the best storytellers, he has range. He takes inspiration from famous hero’s journeys, including The Iliad, The Odyssey, Hamlet, Huckleberry Finn, and Of Mice and Men. He seems to be saying that our personal journeys are never as linear or predictable as an interstate highway. But, he suggests, when something (or someone) tries to steer us off course, it is possible to take the wheel.” – Bill Gates
