Complete Early Poirot Omnibus

Complete Early Poirot Omnibus Synopsis

<p><b>Hercule Poirot made his first public appearance in 1920</b> at the age, one guesses, of about 60. He finally breathed his metaphorical last in 1975 at the age of maybe 75 or 80. And in that short span of time - either 55 years or about 20, depending on how you count it - Poirot became one of England's most profitable and ubiquitous export commodities.</p><p>But it's very clear that his creator, Agatha Christie, did not at first intend for it to go that way. She made a very definite attempt to end the Hercule Poirot saga in the mid-1920s, when his story consisted simply of three novels and 25 short stories.</p><p>It is that first Hercule Poirot bibliography, the one Christie clearly intended to leave for posterity when she typed up the last few words of "e;The Crag in the Dolomites"e; sometime in 1924, that is presented in this collection.</p>
