Happy Birthday to Leslie Charteris

Happy birthday to Leslie Charteris today. He was born on May 12, 1907 so therefore would have been 103 this year! Cheers, and I'm sure we'll all be reading a Saint story tonight in his memory.

The Saint Club's Online Shop

Now open for business is The Saint Club’s online shop.

You can find it at www.lesliecharteris.com/shop and hopefully the site is fairly self-explanatory. You can pay via PayPal or simply via credit card if you don’t have a PayPal account. Or you can send us a cheque.

It is a small shop at the moment but will grow over the next few weeks as I sort everything out.

Any problems or queries please let us know!
