AGATHA CHRISTIE:

This is Christie's output, with year of publication, alternate titles (if any), Swedish titles, and the detective of the story. For a couple of the short stories, their only appearance in book-form is in American collections. These are featured towards the end of this list (nos. 84-86). At the very end of the list (nos. 87-88) are the short stories that have never been collected in any book. Both these stories are versions of earlier Parker Pyne stories, but these (obviously) feature Hercule Poirot.
