Agatha Christie by Vanessa Wagstaff
Other crime writers may come and go, but Agatha Christie maintains her enduring appeal, and for her millions of fans this book is the next best thing to a new Christie novel. The authors have assembled a mouth-watering feast of period memorabilia - the jackets of first editions, stills from films and television series, photographs of the places and buildings that Christie used as settings for her stories, contemporary reviews and magazine features - which effortlessly transports the reader back into the world of Christie and her characters. Each of the novels is discussed in order of publication, with a summary of the plot, information on Christie's own life at the time the book was written, an account of its reception, and details of subsequent films and TV series. The result is a unique companion to her novels that will have enormous appeal to everyone who loves her work.
Photographer and artist Vanessa Wagstaff graduated from the Slade School of Fine Art and has worked as a researcher on costumes and props for the Poirot TV series. Stephen Poole manages Biblion, a business in London's Mayfair specializing in rare books and modern first editions, including crime fiction classics.
