BACKGROUND: Predecessors: Literature, Radio, and Motion Pictures: Raffles, The Gentleman Thief was based on E. W. Hornung's stories which were written in the latter years of the nineteenth century and the early years of the twentieth. A. J. Raffles was England's most renowned cricketer. His fame gave him access to the highest circles of English Victorian society. Unfortunately, his acquired taste for the better things in life cost Raffles more than he made from playing cricket. To supplement his income, Raffles became a highly proficient burglar. Generally, it is acknowledged that the Raffles stories were inspired by Doyle's Sherlock Holmes tales; Hornung was the brother-in-law of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
