Mrs. Raffles

Mrs. Raffles presents the adventures of an amateur crackswoman—the resourceful wife of E. W. Hornung’s famous gentleman thief—told with John Kendrick Bangs’s light American parody. Society, safes and borrowed legend supply the jokes. It is a companionable pastiche in which burglary becomes a marital art and Raffles’s shadow falls, amusingly, on New York.

This special edition has been created with accessibility in mind. It features a fully adjustable coloured overlay system designed to support readers with Irlen Syndrome, dyslexia, or visual stress. By reducing visual strain and allowing each reader to customise their experience, this edition makes Bangs’s pastiche narrative more comfortable and enjoyable to read.

Rediscover the crackswoman comedy and Rafflesian pastiche of Mrs. Raffles in a format thoughtfully crafted to be more inclusive for all readers.
