Gentleman thief Raffles is daring, debonair, devilishly handsome-and a first-
rate cricketer In these eight stories, the master burglar indulges his passion
for cricket and crime: stealing jewels from a country house, outwitting the law,
pilfering from the nouveau riche, and, of course, bowling like a demon-all with
the assistance of his plucky sidekick, Bunny Encouraged by his brother-in-law,
Arthur Conan Doyle, to write a series about a public school villain, and
influenced by his own experiences at Uppingham, E W Hornung created a unique
form of crime story, where, in stealing as in sport, it is playing the game that
counts, and there is always honor among thieves
