Book description: London: Bantam, 2004. A Fine copy with a Fine complete dustjacket. The author travels from London to Baghdad to emulate Agatha Christie's 1928 journey, which is one that is harder today than in her time, as the countries that are crossed on the journey have been deeply troubled in recent years. Christie's journey changed her life and led her to spend thirty seasons on archaeological digs in the deserts of Syria and Iraq. The author arrives in Baghdad at the same time as UN weapons inspectors. A book that combines literary biography with travel adventure. 20 colour photographs and map of journey.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
