   Extractions: Leslie Charteris is not a forgotten writer. Though he wrote other things, he will go down in literary history with his character, Simon Templar, the urbane, sophisticated, gentleman-adventurer better known as the Saint. Charteris was born in 1907, the son of Dr. S.C. Yin, whose roots could be traced to the old emperors of China. Charteris was christened Leslie Charles Bowyer Yin, and learned several language before he learned English. He was not a distinguished scholar, but did manage to write a novel while he was attending Cambridge. He continued to write, but seldom made money at it. To keep himself fed, he worked as a policeman, drove a bus, prospected for gold, worked in tin mines, fished for pearl, tended bar, and became a professional bridge player. In 1926, he legally changed his name. In 1929, he wrote MEET THE TIGER, the first Saint book. MEET THE TIGER sold very well, and soon the followup adventures of Simon Templar were making Charteris famous and rich. In 1932, he moved to the United States.

   Extractions: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback Leslie Charteris (1907-1993) - in full: Leslie Charles Bowyer Yin American mystery-adventure writer, born in Singapore. Charteris is best-known for his highly popular " The Saint" stories, depicting the adventures of Simon Templar, a hero outside the law, who hunted down criminals and con artists whom the law could not or would not touch. The first screen adaptation was made in 1938; the TV series started in 1963 with Roger Moore as the Saint. Simon Templar's return to the big screen was seen in 1997, this time with Val Klimer in the title role. "It is truly said that adventures are to the adventurous. Simon had about him that indefinable atmosphere of romance and adventurousness which is given to some favored men in every age, and it attracted adventure as inevitably as a magnet attracts iron filings." (from Enter the Saint Leslie Charteris was born Leslie Charles Bowyer Yin. His father was Dr. S.C. Yin and mother Florence Bowyer. He learned Chinese and Malay from native servants before he could speak English. Charteris was educated at private schools, and was keen to run the school magazines. At the age of seventeen Charteris sold his first fiction story. He attended Cambridge University, where he studied law. After the success of his first books, X ESQUIRE (1927) and the Simon Templar story, MEET THE TIGER (1927), the young author abandoned his studies, and changed his name to Leslie Charteris. Experiments with other detective-protagonists were not fruitful, and he brought back the Saint in his sixth book, ENTER THE SAINT (1930). "We Saints are normally souls of peace and goodwill towards men. But we don't like crooks, bloodsuckers, traders in vice and damnation..."

    Extractions: Leslie Charteris was born Leslie Charles Bowyer Yin in Singapore in May 1907 to a wealthy Chinese doctor and an English mother. Always adventurous, he left for America in 1932 arriving with a grand total of $25 in his pocket and quickly became assimilated in its culture. Soon he was hired by a Hollywood studio. Quickly disillusioned he left, but returned several times (once on the Hindenburg) and eventually became a US citizen. At the age of seventeen Charteris had his first story published. In 1927 he created the character The Saint in 'Meet the Tiger'. He experimented unsuccessfully with other characters and eventually returned to Simon Templar with the 1930 'Enter the Saint'. A cult hero was thus born. Described as being a mixture of Raffles and Arsene Lupin, it was not always known on which side of the law The Saint stood. In 1936 The Saint appeared in his first movie 'The Saint in New York' with Louis Hayward, later taken over by George Sanders. The Saint began appearing on the radio, in comic books and magazines from then on, growing in popularity and gaining new fans. It was later made into a TV series with Roger Moore (pre-James Bond).
