Description
No Hero by E. W. Hornung is a captivating collection of short stories that revolves around the adventures of the charming and witty character, A.J. Raffles, a gentleman burglar. Set against the backdrop of Victorian England, Raffles, who operates within high society, brilliantly combines elements of crime and thrill with a touch of humor and cleverness. The stories delve into Raffles's escapades with his friend and chronicler, Bunny Manders, as they navigate through heists, narrow escapes, and moral dilemmas.
