book log: Leslie Charteris - Enter the Saint
50) Leslie Charteris - Enter the Saint
Second book in the Saint series, a trio of novelettes/novellas rather than a novel. Simon Templar continues in his adventurer ways, a moral criminal who only targets immoral criminals, bringing a little justice to the world a la Robin Hood and taking a 10% fee to cover his expenses. These stories introduce the Saint's gang of like-minded honest crooks, and one of the stories is largely about Dicky Tremayne. Great fun from the 1930s.

I also recall hearing a story that Leslie Charteris enjoyed Saint fanfic, writing a charming letter in response to a fan who sent Charteris a copy of their fic.

It looks as if some titles were common enough that they're available second-hand on Amazon at a reasonable price. Failing which, if I get through to the end of the set and decide that I want the shelf space for something else, I'll put a "who wants them next" note on LJ.
