His education at Marlborough College and subsequent tenure at Hertford College, Oxford, provided him with the classical foundation that would later permeate his literary works. Falkner's career was a blend of business and writing, as he became a successful businessman in the armaments trade, while nurturing a deep passion for literature and history. He is best known for his novel 'Moonfleet' (1898), a captivating tale of smuggling, treasure, and coming of age, set in the coastal village of Moonfleet in Dorset. The novel remains a cherished piece of literature, celebrated for its gripping adventure narrative, moral complexity, and atmospheric portrayal of the 18th century English village. Falkner's narrative style is often noted for its ability to transport readers with vivid descriptions and a suspenseful plot, earning him a place among the notable writers of adventure tales of his time. Despite a limited literary output, his work has left an indelible mark on the literary world, and 'Moonfleet' continues to be admired by readers and scholars of English literature.
