Ernest William Hornung 1866-1921 was an English author. He spent most of his life in England and France, but in 1884 left for Australia and stayed for two years. Although his Australian experience had been so short, it coloured most of his literary work from A Bride from the Bush 1890 , to Old Offenders and a Few Old Scores 1923 which appeared after his death. He published the poems Bond and Free and Wooden Crosses in The Times. The character of A. J. Raffles, a 'gentleman thief', first appeared in Cassells Magazine in 1898 and the stories were later collected as The Amateur Cracksman 1899 . After Hornung spent time in the trenches with the troops in France, he published Notes of a Camp-Follower on the Western Front in 1919, a detailed account of his time there. His other works include: Dead Men Tell No Tales 1899 , The Black Mask 1901 , No Hero 1903 , A Thief in the Night: A Book of Raffles Adventures 1905 and Mr. Justice Raffles 1909 .
