About the author
Born in London in 1833, Benjamin Leopold Farjeon became known as a remarkably productive novelist and storyteller in the Victorian era. In his early adulthood he left Britain for Australia during the gold-rush years, later spent time in New Zealand working in journalism, and returned to England in the 1860s, where his literary career gathered momentum.
Farjeon wrote a large number of novels and tales, often blending domestic drama, humor, mystery, and sharp observations of everyday life. His experiences in Australia and New Zealand fed into parts of his fiction, giving some of his work a broader colonial setting than that of many of his British contemporaries.
He remained an active and popular man of letters until his death in 1903. His legacy reaches beyond his own books as well: he was the father of Eleanor Farjeon, who became a celebrated writer in her own right, and Herbert Farjeon, a noted man of the theatre and letters.
