Agatha Christie – The Pale Horse – First UK Edition 1961
£225.00
First edition, first printing. Published by Collins Crime Club in London, 1961. This is a near fine copy. The dust wrapper is strikingly designed, with some very slight wear at the spine tips. It is not price clipped. The boards are fine in the original red publishers cloth. The text blocks are bright and mostly clean, with some very slight foxing to the top edge. This copy is without inscriptions. Overall, this is a near fine copy. Rarely seen so presentable.
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.
