The Adventures of Arsène Lupin, Gentleman-Thief / [ISBN: 9781529078213 ]
'An irresistable gentleman thief.' - Vanity Fair.
The inspiration for the hit Netflix show, Lupin, Arsène Lupin is charming, clever and bold. A master of disguise, he steals from the rich, he outsmarts the police and he’s generous to those in need. And above all, he never takes himself too seriously. This 'Belle Époque's French Robin Hood has charmed readers for generations and the stories about his dazzling escapades have been adapted countless times for television, stage and film, including the hit manga series Lupin III.

In the opening stories, Lupin is arrested by the Inspector Justin Ganimard, only to engineer his own incredible escape.
What follows are wonderfully entertaining and action packed stories that finish with a brief encounter with none other than Sherlock Holmes [aka] Herlock Sholmès. Originally published together in 1907, this collection of the gentleman thief's very first adventures is the perfect place to start exploring his world of daring escapes, cunning disguises and ambitious heists.
