Abstract
Previous treatments of the charge-monopole system have used either a lagrangian singular along the Dira string or a multiple valued action integral. Here we formulate an action principle for this system which involves no strings and is single. This is achieved by writing the lagrangian directly in terms of the variables of a suitable fibre bundle. Canonical quantization is carried out in a simple way and known results are recovered.
