J. Meade Falkner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Falkner eventually followed him as chairman in 1916, hard though this is to equate with his interest in poetry, architecture and heraldry. Falkner fell in love with Durham and, after becoming honorary librarian to the Dean and Chapter, he lived from 1902 in the Divinity House on Palace Green in front of the cathedral. After Oxford, he went to Newcastle as tutor to the family of Sir Andrew Noble, who ran Armstrongs of Newcastle, one of the largest arms manufacturers in the world. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/J._Meade_Falkner

John Meade Falkner Photographs John Meade Falkner [of whom a brief obituary notice appeared in the later editions of The Times of Saturday] went as tutor to the sons, of Sir Andrew Noble, at that time vice-chairman of the Armstrong firm, on leaving Oxford, and in 1895 was offered a post in the company. John Meade Falkner, born on May 8th.,1858, in Manningford Bruce, a village in Wiltshire, England, was the second son (the first having died before JMF was born) of Thomas Alexander Falkner (1819-87) and his wife, Elizabeth Grace (Mead). "Moonfleet" (1898), a story of the old smuggling days on the South Coast, is a more straightforward story, which suggests comparisons with Stevenson in subject, but is written in Falkner's own style in which every word is right and in the right place. www.island.net /~rjbw/JMFalkner.html

J. Meade Falkner Homepage and Biography on Bibliomania.com John Meade Falkner was born on May 8th 1858 in Manningford Bruce a town in Wiltshire, England. Later in his life Falkner enjoyed the life of a somewhat reclusive scholar who was nonetheless amiable and at times controversial in his opinions. Falkner attended Marlborough College and then Hertford College at Oxford University where he received a somewhat pallid and undistinguished Third Class Degree, although along the way he had learned several languages. www.bibliomania.com /0/0/37

Review of The Blanket of the Dark To one who is not only a member of the John Buchan Society, but the Founder of the John Meade Falkner Society, the accolade is apt and justifiable.

Hertford College John Meade Falkner went up to Oxford University in the autumn of 1878, as an undergraduate at Hertford College. Falkner was proud of Hertford’s ‘honoured place’ among the older colleges, but concluded that its buildings ‘possess nothing of the slightest interest’ and that it had ‘a mean little chapel’. Falkner was made an Honorary Fellow of his old college in 1927. www.ashbyrotaryclub.org.uk /newjmf/hertford.htm   (277 words)

Chapter In The Bay of Moonfleet by J. Meade Falkner But instead of the guard with their muskets and lanterns and the tubs of broken victuals, there was only one man, and that the jailer who had padlocked us into gangs at the beginning of the voyage. So we were glad enough to hear a noise at the hatch just as Elzevir had done speaking, and the cover was flung off letting in a splash of salt water and a little dim and dusky light. He bent down for a moment over the hatch, holding on to the combing to steady himself in the sea- way, and flung a key on a chain down into the orlop, right among us. www.bibliomania.com /0/0/37/75/12397/2.html   (1622 words)

THE LOST STRADIVARIUS (1895) by John Meade Falkner Smart was a famous collector of Stradivarius fiddles, esteemed one of the first authorities in Europe in that domain of art, and author of a valuable work of reference in connection with it. Neither the sound-post nor the bass-bar have ever been moved, and you see here a Stradivarius violin wearing exactly the same appearance as it once wore in the great master's workshop, and in exactly the same condition; yet I think the belly is sufficiently strong to stand modern stringing. We had all seen the Stradivarius violin indeed it was impossible for my brother longer to conceal it from us, and he now played continually on it. gaslight.mtroyal.ca /loststrd.htm   (22342 words)

Chapter The Well of Moonfleet by J. Meade Falkner They were swaying to and fro, and the jailers grip was slackening, for his muscles were overwrought and tired; but Elzevir held him firm as a vice, and I saw from his eyes and the bearing of his body that he was gathering himself up to give his enemy a fall. Elzevir stood on the other side of the well-mouth, and it seemed the other could not miss him at such a distance; but as I blinked my eyes at the flash, I felt the bullet strike the iron chain to which I was holding, and saw that Elzevir was safe. Then they hugged one another and began a terrible struggle: for Elzevir knew that he was wrestling for life, and I daresay the turnkey guessed that the stakes were much the same for him too. www.bibliomania.com /0/0/37/75/12394/4.html   (22342 words)

Chapter The Escape of Moonfleet by J. Meade Falkner Elzevir was still walking strongly, in spite of the heavy burden he carried, and in less than half an hour I knew, though I had never been there before, we were in the land of the old marble quarries at the back of Anvil Point. No time was wasted in words; Elzevir had the flask in his pocket, and the boy was biting the crown. Then I knew that he had guessed who we were, and was off to warn the hue and cry; but before Elzevir was on his feet again, the boy was out of sight, over the hill-brow. www.bibliomania.com /0/0/37/75/12389/6.html   (22342 words)
