Description

Comprised of ten thrilling tales, Bunny recounts stories from various times in he and Raffles’ lives. In Out of Paradise, Bunny is heartbroken over his ended engagement, which he called off after his fall from social grace to save his fiancé from the shame. In attempts to cheer him up, Bunny suggests that the pair rob the estate of a rich politician. Following this bittersweet tale, The Rest Cure is a calm narrative that follows Bunny and Raffles as they lay low to avoid a confrontation with Inspector Mackenzie. Though Raffles and Bunny have proven time and time again that they are an inseparable duo, Bunny is eager for the chance to prove that he can work alone in A Bad Night. In A Trap to Catch a Cracksman, Bunny remembers his partner’s faults just as he recalls the qualities he loves, as he recounts a time when Raffles’ pride got the better of him, landing him in a well-placed trap. With the humorous and reflective narration of Bunny, A Thief in the Night by E.W Hornung is an exciting and fun collection of the adventures of the two famous thieves. With stories scattered across the timeline of Raffles’ and Bunny’s relationship, this collection of short fiction allows readers to fill in gaps and become better acquainted with the beloved main characters of E.W Hornung's popular crime series. This edition of A Thief in the Night by E.W Hornung now features a new, eye-catching cover design and is printed in a font that is both modern and readable. With these accommodations, this edition of A Thief in the Night crafts an accessible and pleasant reading experience for modern audiences while restoring the original adventure and suspense of E.W Hornung’s literature.

Author Biography:

Ernest William Hornung (1866-1921) was an English author and poet, best known as a crime writer who often published under his initials, E.W. Hornung. When he was seventeen, Hornung moved to Australia, with the hope that the climate would remedy his poor health. Hornung often referred to this time as one of the best periods of his life, and he based much of his work off an Australian setting. A little over two years later, Hornung returned to England and worked as a journalist during the active period of the infamous serial killer Jack the Ripper, which likely sparked his interest in crime fiction. Hornung married Connie Doyle, the sister of major author Arthur Conan Doyle, in 1893. While the author explored many important themes in his work, the topics of Australia, crime, and cricket were commonly present in his work, signifying Hornung’s interest and passion for each.
