This early work by Ernest William Hornung was originally published in 1905 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'A Thief in the Night: A Book of Raffles' Adventures' is the third book featuring the charming A. J. Raffles and contains a collection of fun short stories, including 'Out of Paradise', 'The Rest Cure', 'The Last Word', and many more. Ernest William Hornung was born in Middlesbrough, England in 1866. After working briefly as a journalist, and publishing a series of poems in The Times, Hornung created the character for which he is best-remembered: A. J. Raffles, a "gentleman thief" plying his trade in Victorian London.
