Agatha Christie – The Pale Horse – First UK Edition 1961
£150.00
First edition, first printing. Published by Collins in London, 1961. A very good copy. The dust wrapper has been price clipped. Some wear to the spine tips and corners – some light edgewear. The boards are free from notable chips and marks and the text blocks are bright and white, some light marks to the rear panel. No inscriptions within. Overall, this is a very good copy.
The novel features her novelist detective Ariadne Oliver as a minor character, and reflects in tone the supernatural novels of Dennis Wheatley who was then at the height of his popularity. The Pale Horse is mentioned in Revelation 6:8, where it is ridden by Death.
