The
Saintly Bible - A Guide to the Immortal Works of Leslie Charteris and
The Saint Saga
"I have been trying to make a picture of a man. Changing, yes. Developing,
I hope. Fantastic, improbable-perhaps. Quite worthless, quite irritating, if
you feel that way. Or a slightly cockeyed ideal, if you feel differently. It
doesn't matter so much, so long as you feel that you would recognise him if you
met him tomorrow."(Leslie Charteris, 1939) |
