The Works of Rafael Sabatini

THE WORKS OF SABATINI

I have gleaned the bibliography that follows from only a few Sabatini books, and if you have any information which can fill in the enormous blanks, or correct misinformation, then please e-mail me on [email protected] to let me know. I have listed the books in what I think was the chronological order of publishing, but this may be inaccurate. Apart from the "Historical Nights Series 2" published by Phoenix, and Stanley Paul publishing "The Life of Cesare Borgia" and "Torquemada and the Spanish Inqusition", I only know of Hutchinson publishing original Sabatini novels; however, I am suspicious that Phoenix either became or was embodied into Hutchinson sometime between 1919 and 1927. The Book Club printed at least one re-issued Sabatini during the war - "Columbus A Romance". PAN certainly did some paperback editions in the sixties, but I think the 3 book boxed set I got was a special, and I cannot recall the publisher, though it was probably PAN. Hutchinson Library Services (HLS) re-printed certain of the books in hardback in the 1970�s in what seems to have been an effort to re-generate interest in the author.

Hutchinson made a number of re-issues of early editions. For example, "The Shame of Motley", first issued February 1908, reprinted May 1908, 3/6d net edition issued June, September, November 1924, September 1925, April and October 1926, cheap 2/- net edition issued February 1915 and June 1919, popular 6d edition issued February 1910, and first printed in uniform edition 1927. As this information is taken from the 1927 uniform edition, then there may well be further issues I have not yet encountered.
