'A Journalist's Note-Book' is a semi-autobiographical novel written by Frank Frankfort Moore. He wrote about his experiences while working at the local, conservative and unionist paper, The News Letter. Although he was described by his colleagues as "a compulsive writer - never revising - with an uncannily acute and retentive memory"; a similar complimentary regard is not held by Moore, who wrote this book as a scathing denouncement of his past co-workers antics while working in The News Letter.

Frank Frankfort Moore (1855-1931) was an Irish dramatist, biographer, novelist and poet born in Limerick. He worked as a journalist on the staff of the Belfast Newsletter from 1876-92 before gaining fame as a novelist. He produced nearly 70 works of fiction in the course of his career, including adventure novels, sea stories and historical fiction, some with Irish themes. His greatest success came with The Jessamy Bride (1897), a novel about the final years of Oliver Goldsmith which became the year's bestseller. This work published in 1913 is a companion to The Jessamy Bride, revolving around Fanny Burney and her circle, and appearing under the title of "Fanny's First Novel" in the UK.
A Georgian Pageant is a late 1700s romance about a young woman. The novel begins with Miss Burney on a walk through the Kew Gardens when she suddenly finds herself in a chase with His Majesty, the king. His unfortunate state puts her in a difficult position that she must find a way out of. Excerpt: "She realized, all too painfully, the feelings of the poor hare at that moment. She longed for friendly earth to open up before her. They were behind her—those wild huntsmen, one hoarsely yelling to her she knew not what, the others, more shrill, shouting to her to stop."
