The Burglars' Club: A Romance in Twelve Chronicles, by Henry Augustus Hering (1864 - 1945)

This project is complete and all audio files can be found in the catalogue: https://librivox.org/the-burglars-club-by-henry-augustus-hering/
'He's one of us,' the burglar explained. 'You see, we are men who have pretty well exhausted the pleasures of life. We've all been in the Army or the Navy, all of us are sportsmen, and we are bachelors; so there isn't much excitement left for us. We've started a Burglars' Club to help things on a bit. The entrance fee is a town burglary, the subject to be set by our president, and every other year each member has to keep up his subscription by a provincial line.' (excerpt from the book)

Humour, crime and adventure in Victorian London. (Summary by Rapunzelina)

Good evening (at least that is what it is here, now),

This sounds intriguing (and fun). Might I have section 11 "The Victoria Cross"?

Thanks for considering this.

Thank you, Wayne! Section 11 assigned! I hope you'll enjoy the writing style. The author has a subtle but distinct sense of humour, I would say :D

Hi Lysa! Lovely to see you in this project! Did you mean one or the other? I've signed you up for chapter 5, but if you meant both let me know and I can sign you up for 10 as well. Or if you'd rather finish with 5 first and then decide if you'd like another one too. :D

That would be great! Welcome to this project!
If you'd like, you could do the 1-minute test first to ensure your recording tech specs are correct: https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=1-Minute_Test
