The First Saint Omnibus: An Anthology of Saintly Adventures (The Saint series) by Leslie Charteris

smcleish's review

4.0

The first Saint book I ever owned (picked up in a jumble sale in the early 80s), but one I have not read for years, as I now have all these stories in their original appearances. This collection, some novella length, some short story length, is a good introduction to the series and the stories remain extremely readable. A couple would probably not be picked for such a collection today, as their attitudes seem rather dated (hence missing out on a five star rating) - not an issue which affects as much of Charteris' output as it does many of his contemporaries.
