The League of Gentlemen (novel)

"The League of Gentlemen" (1958) is a pulp-fiction novel by English author John Boland.

It was made into a film "The League of Gentlemen" released in 1960, the most successful British film of that year. The title and concepts of the book may have been an influence on "The League of Gentlemen" comedy group, and "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" comic and film series. The League of Gentlemen has also been used as the name of an art rock supergroup led by Robert Fripp.
