Agatha Christie always claimed that she herself preferred Miss Marple,who made her
bow in 1930,by which time her creator was established as the all-time Queen of Crime,to Hercule Poirot,who had appeared in her very first book.Many Christie fans will undoubtedly agree with her.In the course of her long writing career Agatha Christie wrote a number of short stories featuring St. Mary Mead's best-known inhabitant,which were published in English
magazines.However,not all these stories have appeared in volume form on this side of the Atlantic (UK),and the six which form the greater part of the present collection now do so for the first time (then 1979).
Sanctuary, Strange Jest,Tape-Measure Murder,The Case of The Caretaker,The Case of the Perfect Maid,and Miss Marple Tells a Story,will delight Miss Jane Marple's millions of admirers,and provide a delightful and unexpected postscript to Agatha Christie's crime-writing career.For
good measure,the volume also includes two additional stories,The Dressmaker's Doll and In a Glass Darkly,which display to the
full the incomparable Christie talent for creating suspense.
