"The Listerdale Mystery," published by Collins in 1934, presents Agatha Christie’s delightful short story collection from her golden age peak. This near VG first edition features a date inscription to the front free endpaper and a small bookseller’s ticket on the front pastedown, with sporadic foxing to preliminary pages adding character. General shelf-wear reflects its journey, yet the copy remains robust. A charming example of Christie’s early 1930s versatility beyond detective tales, this volume captures her narrative finesse with historical authenticity, offering collectors a solid piece of her legacy despite minor imperfections.
