Agatha Christie – Akhnaton – First Edition 1973
£285.00
First edition, first printing. Published by Collins in London, 1973. This is a very goode copy. The dust wrapper, designed by Andrew Vargo, has some slight wear at the spine tips but has been price clipped. There are some slight chips to the spine tips. The boards are free from mentionable wear and the publishers cloth is bright. The text blocks are free from notable foxing, though present on the top edge; there is some slight toning throughout. This copy is free from previous owners ink and is, overall, in near fine condition.
It was written in 1937, around the same time she was writing Death on the Nile. It is set in Ancient Egypt, and followed the exploits of the Egyptian Pharaoh Akhnaton, his wife Nefertiti and his successor Tutankhaton (who would take the name Tutankhamun when he became Pharaoh). In writing the play, Christie was assisted by the eminent Egyptologist, Stephen Glanville, who was a friend of both her and her husband, Max Mallowan.
