More about the book
The biography details the life of Ernest William Hornung, an influential English author known for creating the character A. J. Raffles, 'the gentleman thief.' His experiences in Australia and service during WWI shaped much of his writing, including the poignant "Notes of a Camp-Follower on the Western Front," reflecting on his son’s tragic death in battle. Hornung's diverse talents spanned poetry and playwriting, and his literary contributions remain significant as he navigated personal and historical challenges until his death in 1921.
