About the Book: Arsène Lupin Bonus: Arsène Lupin (novelised by Edgar Jepson)
The immense success of Lupin not surprisingly spawned a theatre production and a
play was written by Maurice Leblanc and Francis de Croisset which was then
translated by Edgar Jepson who also subsequently undertook the novelization of
the work.
In this book, Lupin has previously robbed the odious millionaire Gournay-Martin,
but only to play Robin Hood and return the money to their rightful owners whom
Gournay-Martin had exploited. Guerchard is the detective, is on Lupins trail and
runs Lupin close.
The narrative progresses through the Duke of Charmerace, who is engaged to
Gournay-Martins spoilt daughter Germaine.
