Title: The Saint abroad
Description: [from the inner cover:
'The  Art Collectors' finds Simon (the Saint) in contention with some European 'art lovers' whose methods of acquisition are somewhat at variance with those of Andrew Mellon.
'The Persistent Patriots' The Saint learns that there are quite a few people who care about Nagawiland, notably a cadre of revolutionaries who want to discredit their Prime Minister and take over.]
Sadly this misses the reason many of us read the "Saint:' Leslie Charteris's dazzling play of words which allowed us to ignore any holes in the plot; much like Wodehouse, whom he admired.
