Raffles: Further Adventures of the Amateur Cracksman

Written by Hornung, E. W. (Ernest William)

"Raffles: Further Adventures of the Amateur Cracksman" by E. W. Hornung is a short story collection published in 1901. This second installment follows gentleman thief A. J. Raffles and his companion Bunny Manders after their reputations are destroyed. Raffles is presumed drowned, while Bunny emerges from prison struggling to survive. Their unexpected reunion launches them back into crime, but now as hardened criminals rather than respectable gentlemen. Eight connected stories trace their adventures through Victorian London, Italy, and ultimately to the Second Boer War.

Suggested age, readers, English difficulty and US school grade are separate labels. Age groups are guidance based on source information or editorial review; unreviewed books are “Not assessed”. A US grade is assigned only with source information or a documented assessment; otherwise it is “Not assessed”. Levels use A1–C2 to indicate reading difficulty. StoryWeaver levels 1/2/3/4 use our approximate A1/A2/B1/B2 guide, labelled “estimated”; this is not an official equivalence. A book-specific assessment takes priority. Other unassessed books are labelled “Not assessed”. Source StoryWeaver levels are retained separately. Classics retain their original English.
