Join Mike Read as he reads the adventures of master thief and England cricketer, A.J. Raffles, with his faithful sidekick, Bunny Manders, characters created by E.W. Hornung, the brother-in-law of Arthur Conan Doyle.

FEATURING: 

THE IDES OF MARCH 
Bunny is deep in debt to such an extent that he considers suicide rather than the loss of face and social standing.

A COSTUME PIECE
Inspired by listening to brutish diamond millionaire, Reuben Rosenthall, boasting at a banquet, Raffles persuades Bunny that they should steal Rosenthall’s diamonds.

GENTLEMEN & PLAYERS
Raffles and Bunny Manders are invited to play in a country house cricket match, but there is more to it than meets the eye.

LE PREMIER PAS
Raffles tells Bunny about his first crime. Having hurt his hand in a test match in Melbourne, Australia, he is told of another gentleman by the name of Raffles who has been promoted to head of a bank. There is a case of double mistaken identity, after which Raffles decides to rob the bank.
