The Saint And The Fiction Makers

Author: CHARTERIS, Leslie (1907-1993)
Title: The Saint And The Fiction Makers
Publication: London: Hodder and Stoughton Ltd., 1970

Description: [Crime Fiction] FIRST UK HARDBACK EDITION. Octavo (19 x 12cm), pp.189; [3], blank. Publisher's mid-blue cloth hardcovers blocked in gilt to spine, in a cheesy 'Pop-Art' dust-wrapper priced 21s / £1.05. Some spotting/toning to edges and endpapers, jacket also lightly foxed. Very good. One of the more elusive sixties 'Saint' titles, with a movie-related mystery. Groovy, baby! The story was the basis for a two-part television episode 'The Fiction Makers'. Directed by Roy Ward Baker and starring Roger Moore, this aired in December 1968 prior to publication of the book.

Steinbrunner & Penzler, pp.349-351. See also Gilbert, p.616.
