J. Jefferson Farjeon

    Joseph Jefferson Farjeon kwam voort uit een literaire dynastie en volgde in de voetsporen van zijn romanschrijver-vader. Hij bouwde een productieve carrière op en schreef meer dan tachtig romans waarin hij op meesterlijke wijze mysterie en romantiek verweefde, waarmee hij zich vestigde als een vroege vernieuwer in het combineren van deze genres. Zijn werken worden geprezen om hun scherpe humor, geestige woordspelingen en vaak spannende, sinistere verhaallijnen die lezers boeiden. Farjeons talent voor ingenieuze plots en levendige personages leverde hem brede erkenning op voor zijn vermakelijke verhalen.
