Sabatini produced 34 novels, eight short story collections, six non-fiction books, numerous uncollected short stories, and several plays.Sabatini was born in Iesi, Italy. Both of his parents were opera singers who later became teachers.

He consciously chose to write in his adopted language, because, he said, "all the best stories are written in English."
