I have never read these. I need to rectify this.

[sallymn]

Me too... I tend to like Victorian/Edwardian popular fiction, especially for what they didn't mean/weren't aware they wrote :)

I've added legal download links as an ETA to this post, in case you want to obtain the books that way.

Bookmarked with thanks! (Of course, I really needed more stuff to read.... {eg})

There was an ITV (IIRC) drama series in 1977 with Raffles played by Anthony Valentine, whose voice was, I think, one of the only 2 male actor voices sexier than Paul Darrow's)* and Bunny played by Christopher Strauli, who was too sweet to live. It was wondrous. Amazon have it here and i'd recommend it if you like the slashy goodness.

*and the possessor of the other voice, Alain Badel, was half French and therefore had an unfair advantage

[kindkit]

Yes, I've heard good things about the series. Thanks!

I think I need to read these now. Ooh, they're on Project Gutenberg. Yay! *downloads*

[kindkit]

If you go to the Internet Search Archive you can get them as PDFs of actual books, which I find much more readable than the text files from Gutenberg.

I'm actually going to try the Mobipocket versions from Gutenberg on my Kindle. Since I suspect they're converted from the HTML version, they ought to be readable. Plus, I can read on the go. :)

I need to read those. Shall check out your links, thanks.

I THINK THIS MEANS THERE ARE RAFFLES BOOKS I HAVE NEVER READ WHAT.
Uh...I mean, I need to get hold of them. Especially the novel. WHY HAVE I NOT GOT IT?

[kindkit]

*grins* I like the PDFs from the Internet Search Archive.

The novel . . . I dunno. I started reading it, but there's a lot of blatant, icky antisemitism and I've put the book aside for now.
