Maurice Leblanc was born in 1864 in Rouen. From a young age he dreamt of being a writer and, in 1905, his early work caught the attention of Pierre Lafitte, editor of the popular magazine, Je Sais Tout. He commissioned Leblanc to write a detective story and 'The Arrest of Arsène Lupin' was the hugely-popular result. His first collection of stories was published as a book in 1907. Leblanc went on to write numerous stories and novels featuring Arsène Lupin. He died in 1941 in Perpignan.
