How do I see previous postings about Leslie Charteris and the Saint?
I know Charteris' stories very well -- particularly those from the classic early period of ca. 1928 to 1944. Talk to me! Especially if you are into this stuff in detail! Let's talk about the Saint's humorous verse -- the limericks, the longer poems. Let's talk about great characters like Hoppy Uniatz. Let's talk about the young Saint's Robin Hood social ethics. Let's talk about the dark terror in stories like The Man Who Liked Ants. Whaddya got?

Very interested in details on Charteris' life.

Never have quite understood which stories are in the book Wanted For Murder. Have many vintage Saint titles I inherited from my father (no, I am not interested in selling anything) but have always been a little puzzled by this one which I don't own.

Write me back if you love the Saint as he appeared in those great early days.

I found your post via a search engine. So I joined this site to see what else there was.
There was nothing else :-(

I like the Saint books; like you, particularly the early ones. I have nearly all the Leslie Charteris authored ones. Now I am after 3 out of 4 of the earliest non-Saint books; X Esquire, The White Rider and Dare Devil, but can't find them in England (i.e. in GB £s). I also have videos of 8 out of the 9 original 1930/40s Saint films. I'm still after The Saint's Return (1953) with Louis Hayward. I remember seeing it as a rerun as a kid at the local fleapit, but can't get hold of it now.

Your best bet for more info is on the search engines; there's a load of stuff out there.
Good Luck
