About the author
Born in London in 1838, Benjamin Leopold Farjeon became known as a novelist, playwright, printer, and journalist with an extraordinary output. He spent part of his early career in the Southern Hemisphere, working in Australia before moving to New Zealand, where he was closely involved with journalism and newspaper publishing.
Farjeon returned to England and built a successful writing career, producing a long stream of novels and other works for Victorian readers. His life connected several literary worlds at once: popular fiction, the stage, and the press.
He is also remembered as part of a remarkable literary family. He married Margaret Jefferson, and their daughter was the much-loved writer Eleanor Farjeon. He died in 1903.
