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 had a couple of titles myself, but then Watervole asked me a couple of years ago if I'd like the boxful that Waveney had finally been persuaded to admit he was never going to read again even if he loved them. :-) They're dreadfully battered and falling apart copies from the 1950s, but that only adds to their charm.
