I read the first ten or so of these during my mis-spent youth. I thoroughly enjoyed them, but I understand the later books were not as good as the earlier ones.

They are a series that I’d like to try and get through, but the books are around £8-10 a pop, I guess they’re collectors items, so I’ll have to pace myself with them!
I really enjoyed the first one though so I hope it’ll be worth it with the rest of the series.

Great to see your review of the first book. I was aware of them since my late teens even tough they were after my time but I never got round to reading any of them. Interesting to hear your views on them, especially in the changing politcal climate 60 years later….
Cheers,
Pete.
