Le Voleur
Entry updated 12 September 2022. Tagged: Author.
Pseudonym of UK author Rosa Nouchette Carey (1840-1909), prolific under her own name as a writer of domestic novels usually featuring women who accept their lot. She seems to have used the name Le Voleur for her less inhibited tales, including For Love of a Bedouin Maid (1897), a Club Story within the frame of which is unveiled a Napoleonic-era manuscript, discovered in the 1890s on an uncharted Island (which subsequently disappears), and containing a narrative of the discovery of a Lost World in the desert south of Egypt.
