E. W. Hornung's 'Raffles, A Gentleman-Thief: 27 Adventure Tales in One Volume' is a delightful collection of stories featuring the charming and elusive character, A.J. Raffles, who lives a double life as a gentleman cricketer and a master thief. The book is written in a suspenseful and witty style, reminiscent of the popular detective stories of the late 19th century. Each adventure tale is filled with twists and turns that keep the reader on the edge of their seat, making it a gripping read for fans of mystery and adventure literature. E. W. Hornung, the author of 'Raffles', was inspired to create the character of A.J. Raffles as a clever and charismatic anti-hero who evades capture through his wit and charm. Hornung's own experiences as a writer and his interest in crime fiction led him to develop the complex character of Raffles, whose moral ambiguity captures the imagination of readers. I highly recommend 'Raffles, A Gentleman-Thief' to readers who enjoy classic detective stories and tales of daring adventures. E. W. Hornung's masterful storytelling and the thrilling escapades of A.J. Raffles make this book a timeless and entertaining read for all.
