Hercule Poirot Stories (World Classics in Large Print, British Authors)

<p>Christie's quirky, vain and fastidious Belgian detective Hercule Poirot appeared in 33 novels, one play and<br>51 short stories, of which this collection offers the 14 earliest, all published in The Sketch magazine in 1923. Poirot first appeared as a character in Christie s first<br>novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles. His popularity led Christie to write these short mysteries, which have the<br>feel of Sherlock Holmes stories, but with the deft turns of plot that made Christie a favorite of mystery fans.</p>
