Stingaree's adventures have long delighted thousands of readers. He
is a stylish bushranger, his English origins cloaked in mystery,
who operates in New South Wales. He is, after Raffles, the most
famous character that E.W. Hornung (1866-1921) ever created.
Virtually unknown, however, is the fact that twelve years after the
original stories appeared Hornung started to write a fresh batch of
tales, relating Stingaree's subsequent history. For various
reasons, the project was abandoned but the batch of stories that he
completed are now brought together in book-form for the very first
time. Peter Rowland is a well-known historian and biographer. He
recently transcribed and edited two of Hornung's unfinished novels,
His Brother's Blood and The Graven Image, and compiled a fresh
collection of Hornung short stories, Tall Tales and short'uns. A
revised and much-expanded edition of his 1999 biography of Hornung
will appear shortly. (For more information, see
