Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Attractively bound in finely woven blue cloth stamped brightly in orange on the front boards and on the spine. With a blind-stamped image of the blue train in the center of the front boards. With a tiny scuff mark, basely discernible, at the top left-hand corner of the rear boards. Very clean and tight throughout. Printed on heavy white stock which is clean and bright. Virtually unread. Type is crisp and in fine register. A collectible copy in a fine facsimile dust jacket. The novel's plot is based on the 1923 Poirot short story "The Plymouth Express" (later collected in book form in the US in 1951 in The Under Dog and Other Stories and in the UK in 1974 in Poirot's Early Cases). This novel features (as the home of the heroine, Katherine Grey) the first mention in a novel of the fictional village of St Mary Mead, which had originally appeared in "The Tuesday Night Club" published in December 1927, which was the first short story to feature Christie's other famous detective Miss Marple. It also features the first appearance of the minor recurring character, Mr Goby, who would later appear in After the Funeral and Third Girl. The book also features the first appearance of Poirot's valet, Georges. Mere months after this novel was published, prolific French novelist Arthur Bernède published Le mystère du train bleu[7] in late 1928. A murder mystery adventure featuring Bernède's own popular detective, Chantecoq, the story is set in Paris and the plot is completely different. It seems likely, however, that Bernède was hoping to benefit from Poirot's popularity.
