Ten Little Niggers

by CHRISTIE, Agatha

London: Collins for the Crime Club. (1939). First. First edition. Some sunning to the spine ends, and a dampstain on the front board, an about very good copy in an attractive, very good plus example of the dustwrapper with some neatly effected professional restoration, particularly at the base of the spine. A highly politically incorrect title even when it was published, the jacket compounded the problem by portraying little black figures with big white lips cavorting with spears and eating watermelon. The book was published in America as And Then There Were None and was later reissued as Ten Little Indians, perhaps only an incremental improvement over the original. In any event, one of Christie's most ingenious, rarest, and sought after titles, reportedly the best-selling mystery of all time. Made into an excellent 1945 film, And Then There Were None, directed by Rene Clair, scripted by Dudley Nichols and with Barry Sullivan and Walter Huston leading an excellent ensemble cast. .

Description:
Fontana / Collins, London, 1973. Sixteenth Impression. Softcover. Good Condition. The classic Christie nail-biter with an original controversial title which later editions were published with the less offensive title of "Ten Little Indians" or "And Then There Were None". Named after the children's counting rhyme and minstrel song, which serves as a major plot element. The US edition was released in January 1940 with the title And Then There Were None, taken from the last five words of the song. Successive American reprints and adaptations use that title, though Pocket Books paperbacks used the title Ten Little Indians between 1964 and 1986. UK editions continued to use the original title until 1985. Foxing to outer page edges. 190 pages. Pages browned. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 500 grams.

Description:
London: Collins / The Crime Club, 1939. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. First edition, first printing, second state with no date listed on copyright page. Very Good with light lean to spine, a bit of dust soiling, fading to cloth corresponding to jacket chips, and bumping to page corners. In a Very Good dust jacket with front flap clipped at bottom corner and publisher's price of 4'- net printed left of the clip (assumed second issue); edge wear with chipping heavier at spine ends, rubbing to folds, faint pencil markings to front panel and fading to spine. A controversial title to say the least, published in America and filmed as And then There Were None. This book remains one of Christie's best-selling novels, as well as the world's best-selling mystery book and one of the best-selling books of all time. It is widely considered the author's masterpiece.
