This early work by Ernest William Hornung was originally published in 1900 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. Peccavi is a novel about a well-bred clergyman and his struggle to adjust to life on his own without servants.
About the Author
Ernest William Hornung was born in Middlesbrough, England in 1866. After working briefly as a journalist, and publishing a series of poems in The Times, Hornung created the character for which he is best-remembered: A. J. Raffles, a "gentleman thief" plying his trade in Victorian London.
