Stingaree
Stingaree, published in 1905 by E. W. Hornung, the creator of the gentleman thief Raffles, is a collection of linked stories about a bushranger in the Australian outback. Stingaree is a mysterious, well-spoken outlaw who robs stations and travelers with a companion and a fine sense of style, appearing and vanishing across the back country. In episodes such as "A Voice in the Wilderness," "A Bushranger at Bay," "The Honor of the Road" and "A Duel in the Desert," he meets settlers, troopers and a young singer, often showing more chivalry than the respectable people he robs.
