To mark the 80th anniversary of Hercule Poirots first appearance & to celebrate his renewed fortunes as a primetime television star this title in a collection of facsimile first editions is the perfect way to experience Agatha Christie. Reproducing the original typesetting & format of the first edition from the Christie familys own archive this book sports the original cover which has been painstakingly restored to its original glory.
