The definitive companion to the MISS MARPLE novels, short stories,
films and TV appearances, now revised and updated. 'I have had a
lot of experience in solving different little problems that have
arisen.' Most of the 'little problems' tackled by Miss Marple
occurred in the pretty rural village of St Mary Mead and came in
the shape of murder, robbery and blackmail. In the 40 years of her
career, she even solved cases as far afield as London and the
Caribbean. But though she usually masqueraded as 'everybody's
favourite great aunt', what was she really like? In this authorised
biography of the world's most famous female sleuth, Anne Hart combs
through the 12 novels and 20 short stories in which Miss Marple
appeared, uncovering clue and amassing all the evidence to solve
the most difficult case of them all - the mystery of Miss Marple.
This new edition has been updated to include new information about
original publication dates, newspaper and magazine serials, and
up-to-date lists of TV, radio and stage adaptations (including
Geraldine McEwan, Julia McKenzie, June Whitfield and Susie Blake).
The definitive companion to the POIROT novels, short stories, films
and TV appearances, now revised and updated. 'My name is Hercule
Poirot and I am probably the greatest detective in the world.' The
dapper, moustache-twirling little Belgian with the egg-shaped head,
curious mannerisms and inordinate respect for his own 'little grey
cells' has solved some of the most puzzling crimes of the century.
Yet despite being familiar to millions, Poirot himself has remained
an enigma - until now. From his first appearance in 1920 to his
last in 1975, from country house drawing rooms to opium dens in
Limehouse, from Mayfair to the Mediterranean, Anne Hart stalks the
legendary sleuth, unveiling the mysteries that surround him.
Sifting through 33 novels and 56 short stories, she examines his
origins, tastes, relationships and peculiarities, revealing a
character as fascinating as the books themselves. This new edition
has been updated to include new information about original
publication dates, newspaper and magazine serials, and up-to-date
lists of film, TV, radio and stage adaptations (including David
Suchet, Kenneth Branagh, John Malkovich, Tom Conti and Robert
Powell).

Made up of true stories ranging all the way from the ins and outs
of daily life in the Mississippi Delta to bona fide brushes with
history, Anne Hart Preus's Stories from the Hart is a vivid account
of one girl's life growing up during some of the most formative
years in our nation's history, the 1950s and '60s. The reader is
introduced to characters from days gone by--family, friends, and
other townfolk from rural Tallahatchie County, Mississippi--some of
whom came and went quickly, and others who stayed a while. Although
intensely personal, the memoir is set against a backdrop of social
change, including events from the Emmett Till murder trial and
trips to Memphis to see Elvis Presley and the Beatles. The tales in
Stories from the Hart may be funny, dramatic, or occasionally even
wistful, but they are always touching. Whether Anne Hart Preus is
reminiscing about holiday traditions and unexpected snow days,
recounting fascinating and endearing town characters, or
remembering what it was like to grow up in a community where
everyone knew everyone, her natural and engaging style weaves
compelling stories that will keep readers coming back for more.
