Beschreibung
This fiction presents a series of events circling a robber who has pulled off a couple of robberies in his life. Set in 17th century England this is a novel by G. P. R James, an English novelist and historical writer, best known for his first novel Richelieu: A Tale of France. He began to write romances and continued his production with such industry that his works reached 100 volumes at an early age. For 30 years, hardly a year went by that he failed to turn out at least one novel, and usually two or more, most of them "three-deckers" (three-volume). His books had considerable immediate popularity. Excerpt from the book "His age might be five or six and twenty, and his height, perhaps, five feet eleven inches. He was both broad and deep-chested, that combination which insures the greatest portion of strength, with length and ease of breadth; and though his arms were not such as would have called attention from their robustness, yet they were evidently muscular and finely proportioned."
