Jeffrey Farnol.

Have any of you ever read any of J. Farnol 's books? They are collectable now. We had two or three in our family bookcase. Black Bartlemy's Treasure, Martin Conisby's Vengeace, and The
Broad Highway. There are a lot more. Beltane The Smith, The Amateur Gentleman,
Peregrines Progress etc. , all highly recommended . I've read all of those about six times in my life
and will probably read them again! I've found a shop in Hay on Wye with a lot of them for sale
from two pounds up to ten pounds each.
Whilst on the subject of books, You must find, buy and read, Twenty Years Agrowing by
Maurice O'Sullivan. I bet if you do, you'll be taking the ferry to Ireland and visiting a certain west coast island!

Thankyou Mark. Are you a Mark related to me or a mystery man? ! I'm going to Hay soon, to look at J F books. There is a shop with lots.
