"The Saint Around the World" is a collection of short stories by Leslie Charteris, first published in 1956 by The Crime Club in the United States and by Hodder and Stoughton in the United Kingdom in 1957. This book continues the adventures of Simon Templar, alias The Saint, and is the third of three consecutive books that take a "travelogue" approach to the stories, with each taking place in a different exotic locale; Charteris would later return to this theme with "The Saint in the Sun".

This book features the final regular appearance of Chief Inspector Claud Eustace Teal in the English-language Saint series (he would appear again in one of the French pastiche novels based upon The Saint).

tories

The book consisted of 6 stories:

#Bermuda: The Patient Playboy
#England: The Talented Husband
#France: The Reluctant Nudist
#Middle East: The Lovelorn Sheik
#Malaya: The Pluperfect Lady
#Vancouver: The Sporting Chance

Television adaptations

Two stories from this collection formed the basis for episodes of the 1962-69 TV series, "The Saint".

"The Talented Husband" has the distinction of being the very first episode of the series to be broadcast, on October 4, 1962 (thereby also making it the first Charteris story to be adapted by the series). "The Sporting Chance" appeared on December 12, 1963, during the second season.
