Description
Ernest William Hornung (1866 - 1921) was an English author best known for writing the A. J. Raffles series of stories about a gentleman thief in late 19th-century London. In the series of Raffles short stories were collected for sale in book form in 1899, and two further books of Raffles short stories followedl. Aside from his Raffles stories, Hornung was a prodigious writer of fiction, publishing numerous books from 1890, one of the best, The Crime Doctor.
