  Published in 1920, this was the first book in a fantastic literary career for Agatha Christie. She went on to become the top-selling fiction author of all time with sales reaching an incredible one billion in English and another billion in a multitude of foreign language translations. Altogether, the Christie output has been excelled only by the Bible and Shakespeare. As a result, she was sometimes called the “Duchess of Death,” “Mistress of Mystery,” and “Queen of Crime,” all apt descriptions. The lead character in this initial manuscript, Hercule Poirot, was eventually featured in thirty-three novels and fifty short stories. Over the years, her other most renowned subject was Miss Marple. She didn’t make her first appearance until 1930 but wound up in a dozen novels and twenty short stories. 
  Listen now to the start of the Christie saga.

  The Complete Novels And Short...

  "A Little Inaccuracy Sometimes Saves Tons of Explanation."
  
  Saki was the master of the short, sharp shock. Writing at the height of the Edwardian era, H.H. Munro used his biting wit to dismantle the pretenses of polite society, often using mischievous children, cynical houseguests, and the wild unpredictability of nature to expose the absurdities of the adult world. This comprehensive collection captures the full breadth of his genius, from his legendary sketches to his sophisticated novels.
  
  The Master of the Elegant Sting: Saki's work is characterized by a "wicked" elegance. He is the architect of the sophisticated prank and the purveyor of the unexpected ending that lingers long after the final page. His stories often feature a world where the domestic and the wild collide, where a conversational gaffe can be as fatal as a tiger in a conservatory. Whether he is satirizing the political landscape of his time or exploring the dark, feral instincts hidden beneath a starched collar, Saki remains the gold standard for satirical short fiction and British irony.
  
  Munro's influence can be seen in the works of Roald Dahl, P.G. Wodehouse, and Graham Greene. His prose is lean, mean, and impeccably polished. This volume is an essential cornerstone for any library of classic humor, Gothic undertones, and social commentary.
  
  Enter a world of polite tea and impolite consequences. Buy "The Complete Novels and Short Stories of Saki" today and experience the sharper side of the Edwardian era.

  Barry Pain - Six of the Best -...

  Six has always been a number we group things around – Six of the best, six of one half a dozen of another, six feet under, six pack, six degrees of separation and a sixth sense are but a few of the ways we use this number. 
   
  Such is its popularity that we thought it is also a very good way of challenging and investigating an author’s work to give width, brevity, humour and depth across six of their very best. 
   
  In this series we gather together authors whose short stories both rivet the attention and inspire the imagination to visit their gems in a series of six, to roam across an author’s legacy in a few short hours and gain a greater understanding of their writing and, of course, to be lavishly entertained by their ideas, their narrative and their way with words. 
   
  These stories can be surprising and sometimes at a tangent to what we expected, but each is fully formed and a marvellous adventure into the world and words of a literary master.
