Captain Hastings recounts 18 of Poirot's early cases from the days before he was famous... Hercule Poirot delighted in telling people that he was probably the best detective in the world.

With his career still in its formative years, the panache with which Hercule Poirot could solve even the most puzzling mystery is obvious. Chronicled by his friend Captain Hastings, these eighteen early cases - from theft and robbery to kidnapping and murder - were all guaranteed to test Poirot's soon-to-be-famous 'little grey cells' to their absolute limit.

Fine in Near Fine jacket. 8vo., 253pp. Beautiful First Edition of this anthology of 18 early Poirot stories. Square, tight and clean throughout with little or no wear save a gentle bump to the heel. Very light toning to page edges as is common. Very attractive unclipped dust-jacket, (£2.25 net), has some rubbing to the spine ends and tips Still fresh and bright with no chipping, creases, toning or tears. A very pretty collectable copy and quite uncommon on this side of the Atlantic.
Excellent reading for trips, when waiting in Dr's. offices etc. Also these stories are currently featured on PBS Mysteries in the evening. Agatha Christie knew how to write clean mystery stories.
