(British first edition,published 1997 by Chameleon)

This is a very well-presented publication, plenty of pictures, information and inside interviews. An up-market coffee-table book. We are treated to a behind the scenes look at the television Saint. However, those expecting a review of the novels will be disappointed. The book deals only with TV and film.

The author obviously enjoys his subject, and though plainly serious about it keeps it all extremely light-hearted.

For those that have just come into contact with recent re-runs of the TV series, or for those of us that can remember the originals, this book is an extremely pleasant and interesting trip down memory lane.

For those Charteris afficianados amongst us, the book is a worthwhile addition to a collection as it provides some good background information. It also looks good on the coffee-table.
