8. Are there any books about Leslie Charteris?
"The Saint and Leslie Charteris" (Howard Baker, 1970) by W.O.G. Lofts and Derek Adley, is an excellent, if now somewhat dated bio-bibliography of the two.
"The Saint: A Complete History in Print, Film, Radio and Television. 1928 - 1992" (McFarland, 1993) by Burl Barer. Charteris loved it. The author won an Edgar award for it. Need we say more?
"The Durable Desperadoes" (Macmillan, 1973) by William Vivian Butler is a fantastic critical study on the genre of criminal gentleman. The Saint is featured prominently, being the primary focus of the book.
A full bibliography, "The Saintly Bible", by Daniel Bodenheimer and an authorised biography, "A Saint I Ain't", by Ian ****erson, are currently in preparation.
