He soon meets the beautiful and mysterious Lady Barbara, also known as Lady Caprice, who captures his heart and leads him on a thrilling journey through the English countryside. Along the way, they encounter a cast of memorable characters, including a dashing highwayman, a cunning detective, and a group of eccentric aristocrats. As Anthony and Lady Barbara navigate their way through love, danger, and intrigue, they must also confront their own secrets and pasts. With its vivid descriptions of English society, charming characters, and captivating plot, My Lady Caprice is a timeless tale of love and adventure that will enchant readers of all ages.1906. Farnol was one of the best-selling authors of the early part of the 20th century. The book begins: I sat fishing. I had not caught anything, of course-I rarely do, nor am I fond of fishing in the very smallest degree, but I fished assiduously all the same, because circumstances demanded it. It had all come about through Lady Warburton, Lisbeth�������s maternal aunt. Who Lisbeth is you will learn if you trouble to read these veracious narratives-suffice it for the present that she has been an orphan from her youth up, with no living relative save her married sister Julia and her Aunt (with a capital A)-the Lady Warburton aforesaid.
