(Wiltshire, 1858 - Durham, 1932). Estudió en el Hertford College de Oxford, donde se licenció en Historia. Después de graduarse ejerció de maestro en la escuela de Derby, antes de ir a Newcastle para trabajar como tutor de los hijos de Sir Andrew Noble, director del Armstrong Whitworth Co., una de las mayores empresas armamentísticas del mundo a finales de siglo, que se convertiría en estratégica durante la Primera Guerra Mundial. Aunque los principales intereses del joven Falkner eran la poesía, la arquitectura y la heráldica, su patrón le ofreció un cargo relevante en la empresa, por el que tuvo que recorrer medio mundo. Tras retirarse de los negocios en 1921, fue lector honorario de Paleografía de la Universidad de Durham y bibliotecario honorario de la catedral. Aparte de las tres novelas que escribió, también publicó varias guías topográficas y una historia de Oxfordshire.
