The Complete Charlie Chan - Six Unabridged Novels, the House Without a Key, the Chinese Parrot, Behind That Curtain, the Black Camel, Charlie Chan Car | 
pickWhile some feel Chan is dated and out of step with present day sensitivities, when Biggers wrote these stories he was taking a bold step in portraying a Chinese as an educated, smart, family man. These were written in the time of the war era‘s “yellow peril” days. It‘s important to keep it in perspective. As usual one shouldn‘t judge the books by the tv and movies. Charlie is as different in the books as Perry Mason was. #perrymason #charlie chan
