c1930 Un Cambrioleur Amateur: Raffles
What Our Customers Say...
Description
Leather Binding
Translated from English to French by Henry Evie. Containing: 'Les Ides de mars', 'Une piece costumee', 'Gentlemen et professionnels', 'Le premier pas', 'Un assassinat', 'A cote de la loi', 'La revanche d'un match', and 'Le present de l'empereur'. The front blank has a pencil inscription reading 'L'Odeon Theatre, Paris, May 1935'. (The Odeon Theatre is one of France's six national theatres). The character Raffles, first created in the 1890s, is often regarded as an inversion of the sleuth Sherlock Holmes, created by Hornung's brother in law Arthur Conan Doyle. Raffles supports his lavish London lifestyle and career as a cricketer by carrying out ingenious burglaries. A master of disguise, he nevertheless relies on his more innocent sidekick Bunny to evade capture.
Condition
In a half leather binding. Externally, smart, with only light shelfwear. Ink names and addresses to front blanks. Internally, generally firmly bound, although the first front blank is starting. Pages are lightly age-toned with light spots.
Very Good
