Simon Templar, better known as "the Saint," is perhaps the first truly multimedia hero. By the 1960s his adventures had appeared in books, films, comic-strips and on television. But radio has been the most durable medium for the Saint; from the first series during World War II to the most recent in 2002, fifteen actors have played the modern-day Robin Hood. Of course when you mention The Saint on the radio most people think of Vincent Price, and quite understandably for he was the longest-running and most high-profile incumbent of the halo. But who were the other fourteen - and how did they get their haloes? The Saint on the Radio goes behind-the-scenes of the Saint, providing intriguing detail about the series' creation, its writers, episode synopses, all the cast over the years, and two complete radio scripts. It provides an invaluable guide to the radio adventures of one of the 20th Century's most enduring and endearing heroes.
