Description: Up for sale is a 2011 Folio Society Edition of "THE COMPLETE MISS MARPLE SHORT STORIES" by Agatha Christie. Described by her friend Dolly Bantry as 'the typical old maid of fiction', Miss Marple has lived almost her entire life in the sleepy hamlet of St Mary Mead. Yet, by observing village life she has gained an unparalleled insight into human nature - and used it to devastating effect. As her friend Sir Henry Clithering, the ex-Commissioner of Scotland Yard has been heard to say: 'She's just the finest detective God ever made.' - and many Agatha Christie fans would agree. Appearing for the first time in "The Murder at The Vicarage" (1930) her crime-fighting career spanned over forty years when she solved her final case in 1977 in "Sleeping Murder". With every tale flawlessly plotted by the Queen of Crime herself, these short stories provide a feast for hardened Agatha Christie addicts as well as those who have grown to love the detective through her many film and television appearances. The book and slipcase are in very good condition. Light rubbing/shelf wear to the boards along the edges and corners. The spine and pages are very tight. There are no other marks, tears, bookplates or writing in this book. The slipcase has shelf wear/rubbing to the back and bottom sides. Please review all photos for your best idea of the condition.
