This May, 1936 issue of The Strand Magazine (Vol. Wagstaff & Poole A Christie Bibliography. An excellent copy, with the eight pages of advertisements at the rear, firm and tight, slightly worn at the extremities, one small spot to the upper cover, head of spine very slightly creased. A significant rarity, RareBookHub list only seven copies in the original cloth to have sold at auction, even more uncommon in an unsophisticated state such as the copy presented here. More than one contemporary reviewer compared Christie's writing to Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories. Christie's third novel, and surely one of her rarest, only the second to feature Hercule Poirot, the great detective here pitted against a distinctly unfriendly member of the French police, also notable for the amorous adventures of Poirot's sidekick Hastings, who falls for the charms of a red headed acrobat. 8vo., original orange cloth, lettered in black with art-nouveau linear design in black. The Greenshore Folly is one of the rarest Agatha Christie manuscripts to have appeared on the market in many years. The Greenshore Folly is not to be confused with the entirely un-related Miss Marple Story Greensh aw s Folly which was published in The Adventures of the Christmas Pudding in 1960. The Greenshore Folly is referred to in several Agatha Christie bibliographical lists and is a detective novella featuring Hercule Poirot which was expanded in 1956 into the full-length novel, Dead Man s Folly. Short Story GREENSHAW S FOLLY substituted for story above. On the outside of the manuscript there is a small piece of paper attached (with typing on the verso) that says: GREENSHORE FOLLY original short story.
