In 1907, Author Maurice Leblanc released the first collection of stories recounting the adventures of Arsene Lupin, a charming Thief and master of disguises.
Collecting the first 9 novellas, this illustrated edition features dozens of black-and-white and full-color illustrations and plates including numerous two-page spreads that evoke the beauty and charm of a Studio Ghibli production..
This brand new edition of the first Arsene Lupin novel is beautifully illustrated by artist Vincent Mallie, capturing the joyful style of an animated feature as if created by renowned director Hayao Miyazaki (whose first directorial release was Lupin THE 3rd: The Castle of Cagliostro, which is filled with nods to Leblanc\'s classic character).
The character became quite popular, featured in 17 novels and 39 novellas, inspiring generations of charming anti-heroes to follow.
