This book contains letters written by Agatha Christie from a trip around the world, which she and her first husband went on in 1922. In 10 months, Agatha and Archibald visited Africa, Australia, New Zealand, saw Hawaii and Canada, photographed their companions and African farms, tropical forests and Hawaiian beaches, and, of course, each other. But the detective queen’s stories about what she saw beyond the seas are much more lively and visual than any photographs. They have observation, wit, and sometimes causticity - all that is why Agatha Christie was and remains an incomparable fiction writer.
