Corrections and additions

[edit]

As I edit anonymously I'm hesitant to make changes to a featured list that are likely to be bot-reverted. So a few things I have noticed about this list. The publication year for Daredevil is given as 1929 but the article on the novel says 1928 and I've seen the 1928 year given elsewhere. Second, only three of the post-1963 "collaboration" Saint books are listed, on which Charteris received cover author credit but in reality only acted in a story editor capacity. One, Vendetta for the Saint, is recognized as having been ghost written by Harry Harrison, not co-written by Charteris. The Saint in Pursuit was not written by Charteris but was an adaptation of a comic strip storyline he wrote. The Saint and the People Importers was an adaptation of TV episodes; Charteris again only served as editor. I suggest creating a new section to cover off the "edited" series, from Vendetta for the Saint through to Salvage for the Saint; several of the books such as The Saint and the Fiction Makers and Salvage for the Saint also adapt TV episodes and are as justified for inclusion as People Importers. The list also needs further updating as it omits the recently discovered manuscript, The Saint's Second Front. 70.73.90.119 (talk) 22:23, 29 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
