Leonard Felix Hageman was born in Leeuwarden on August 1, 1877, and died in Amsterdam on January 22, 1966. He worked as a Dutch journalist and writer, including film criticism under the pseudonym Leo.
Hageman is best known for his major contribution to the Dutch Lord Lister series, also known as Raffles. Beginning in the 1920s, he wrote hundreds of new adventures featuring the gentleman thief and master detective, often publishing them anonymously before publicly acknowledging his role.
His work belonged to the popular fiction tradition of adventure, crime, and detective stories. Although the series was sometimes dismissed as pulp, its brisk storytelling and wide readership made Hageman one of the Netherlands’ most widely read writers of his era.
