The Saint in Holland

Although still not very well documented, more information is available over the period 1946-1955. Before 1950, a lot of books were still undated, but after 1950 most books were dated. Shortly after the war, Bruna started publishing, and marketing books again. However, scarcity of paper meant that a lot of them were printed in Belgium. They were cheap editions, soft cover carton binding, but with dustjackets. Two "Saints" from this period, including the dust jacket, have been tracked down. There could be more. Without the dustjacket, the books had a very simple design. The name of the author and title was on the back and also on the front, which also carried the name of the publisher. An example of such a "Saint", without the dustjacket is shown below:

In 1948, Bruna initiated a new hard cover series "Boek van de Maand". Twelve books a year over the period 1948-1954. Several "Saints" were published in these series. They all had dustcovers, but were simultaneously releases in two different bindings. There was a linen version, in different (plain) colours, most of them red. And there was a leather version, in plain blue. Only the back carries the name of the author and the title, the front carried a logo, different for each binding, but similar for every book released in these series. Below a typical example of each binding and logo without the dustjacket, which was similar for each binding type:

In 1950, French publisher Fayard released the first of the Madeleine Michel-Tyl pastiches (Fayard 26), followed in 1951 with Fayard 27 and in 1952 with Fayard 28. There is hard evidence that all three titles were published by Bruna in 1952 in the "Boek van de Maand" series. This casts at least some serious doubts as to the truth of the statement quoted in Burl Barer's book that.. "…the first French Saints were reviewed and rejected by Bruna…".

After 1952, Bruna continued to translate and publish the French Fayard editions, although not always in the order as they appeared in the Fayard series. Only the last three French pastiches from 1962, Fayard 71, 73 & 75 were never published by Bruna, but that also holds for two original English versions "Trust the Saint" & "The Saint in the Sun" from 1963, hence about the same time the Fayard Saint series was terminated.

Over the period 1950-1962, there must have been close connections between Fayard and Bruna. For many "Saint" publications over that period, the Fayard edition was preferred over the original English publication, as evidenced for instance by the release of Zwarte Beertjes nr. 248 in 1959 and nr. 742 in 1964, which are direct translations of Fayard 51 & 69 respectively, which in their turn are translation of original stories, written and published in English by Leslie Charteris.

It looks like around 1962 or 1963, Fayard and Bruna got disconnected, which explains the 5 missing Dutch translations (3 French and 2 English titles) from that period. In 1965 "Vendetta for the Saint" was released as Zwarte Beertjes nr. 934. The translation was based on the Hodder & Stoughton edition from 1965, restoring the old relationship between those two publishing companies.

In 1954, Bruna reinitiated the "Balkenserie", but now with a semi-hard plasticized cover, they all were reprints from earlier publications. The books, most probably, did not have a dustjacket. There is no evidence that the series was continued after 1954. Most probably 5 "Saint" titles (3 available), all reprints, were published in these series. Below an example from these series:

From 1955 on, all "Saints" appeared in pocket format under the imprint "Zwarte Beertjes", that period is very well documented. The first Saint in the series was Zwarte Beertjes nr. 3 from 1955, a reprint of a translation of "The last hero". The last Saint produced in this series was a translation of "Salvage for the Saint", released in 1983 as Zwarte Beertjes nr. 2148.

After 1983, no new Saint translations were published. Under their own label, Bruna did publish a "Saint Omnibus" in 1984, and a reprint (including the original cover) of "The Saint in New York" in 2005, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the existence of the "Zwarte Beertjes" series. There were several other reprints of "Saints" after 1984, though under different labels, but all with the original © Bruna date on it.

In sum the earliest evidence of any Saint publication by Bruna stems from 1938. No trace can be found for any of five early Saint story collections i.e.
"Enter the Saint" (1930)
"Featuring the Saint" (1931)
"Alias the Saint" (1931)
"The brighter buccaneer" (1933)
"The Saint goes on" (1934)

At least from 1952 onwards, there was a strong connection between Bruna and Fayard. In that year Bruna published the first three pastiches written by Madeleine Michel-Tyl (Fayard 26, 27 & 28). It ended somewhere in 1962. In that year Bruna published "Le Saint au volant" (Fayard 66). In 1963 they published Fayard 68, but it was published referencing the English title "The Saint and the sleeping beauty". The last three French Saints, Fayard 73, 75 & 76 were never published. But surprisingly, also Fayard 77 & 78, i.e. the original English releases "Trust the Saint" and "The Saint in the sun" were never integrally published; most stories from those two bundles though were published at some point in The Saint Magazine's. On the other hand Bruna did publish Fayard 69 "Les atout du Saint", a late collection of original English Saint stories, in integrated form, directly from the Fayard release in 1964.

In none of the Bruna publications, there is any reference to Fayard in connection with Leslie Charteris. From 1964 on, starting with "Vendetta for the Saint," Bruna resumed Saint publications in chronological order of appearance and did not miss any. At the same time they started making reference to Leslie Charteris as copyright holder, but it lasted till 1978 until they made any reference to copyrights in any of the reprints of the French Saints. The copyright always is to the correct year of the original Fayard publication, but always © Leslie Charteris; Fayard is nowhere mentioned.

It appears that the hick-up in Saint publications around 1963, and the unexplained discontinuation of Fayard with their Saint series, are connected events. Suggesting, that in both cases copyright issues between Fayard, Bruna and Leslie Charteris played a significant role.

After 1963 there still were good contacts between Fayard and Bruna. From 1965 on Bruna published several French authors in the "Zwarte Beertjes" and in many cases the books list © Librairie Arthème Fayard, but this reference never occurred in connection with any Saint or Charteris publication. Hence it is quite possible, that a conflict on "Saint" publication rights, between Fayard and the "Saint" copyright holders, with Bruna caught in between, might eventually be responsible for both the termination of the Fayard Saint series, and the missing 5 Saint titles by Bruna around 1963.

Below an overview is given of the Bruna "Saint" publications and their connection with the Fayard series, based on the currently available information. The Bruna releases are listed in blue, and the original title on which the translation was based (if known) is underlined. Only for the publications for which a dustjacket is available, or those which never had a dustjacket, the various known covers are shown. All covers are reproduced to scale i.e. a reduction to 20% of their original size. The list below further includes the name of the Dutch translator. 

Most (if not all) Saint books published by A.W. Bruna & Zoon before 1964 were translated by a Dutch mystery writer called "Havank" (he died in 1964). Havank wrote detective novels. The first one appeared in 1935, under the Dutch title "Het mysterie van St. Eustace". Most of his novels were located in France. His main hero, in the early years, was Commissioner Bruno Sylvère of the Surete Generale in Paris. Sylvere's assistant was inspector Charles C.M. Carlier, who later became the main character in his books under the Dutch alias "De Schaduw". So it is no real surprise that Havank preferred the French versions of the Charteris novels, if given a choice. Moreover, Havank and Leslie Charteris knew each other personally. The photograph shown below shows both authors along Havank's car, for which he actually managed to get English license plates, with his initials! The picture was taken in 1962 in Utrecht, where both authors had been invited (along with several other Bruna authors) by the publisher, A,W, Bruna & Zoon, to celebrate the publishing of Zwarte Beertje No. 500.

Most covers (except for a few, published after 1981) were designed by Dick Bruna, the son ("zoon" in Dutch) of the publisher, A.W. Bruna. Dick was eventually supposed to succeed his father as publisher. However, he was an artist, and not a manager. So when his father died in the early 1970s, first his brother took control of the family business, but he did not want the job either. So they struggled along for a couple of years, while Dick concentrated on his only passion: writing and illustrating children books. He is known throughout the world under different pseudonyms: "Nijntje" in Holland, "Moufty" in French, etc. Of course, those early books were also published by his own company. In 1981, the Bruna family sold the business to a larger publisher (Elsevier). Dick now could do what he wanted to do full time: children's books -- and he still does! But since that time, not a single cover, nor a single book, was ever published again by the company which still carries his father's name! However, the Brunasl (or rather their holding company) still own the rights to the trademark "Zwarte Beertjes" and all related logos!
