![]() ![]() ![]() When Queen Mary was asked what she would like for her 80th birthday, she requested a new story from one of her favourite writers, Agatha Christie. ![]() The title of the story comes from the nursery rhyme “Three Blind Mice”. Out of this deceptively simple setup, Agatha Christie fashioned one of her most ingenious puzzlers, which in turn would provide the basis for The Mousetrap, the longest-running play in history. “Three Blind Mice”: A blinding snowstorm-and a homicidal maniac-traps a small party of friends in an isolated estate. Synopsis: Agatha Christie demonstrates her unparalleled mastery with Three Blind Mice and Other Stories-a classic compendium of mystery and suspense, crime and detection, whose title novella served as the basis for The Mousetrap, the longest running stage play in the history of the London theatre. The later collections The Adventure of the Christmas Pudding (1960), Poirot’s Early Cases (1974), Miss Marple’s Final Cases and Two Other Stories (1979), and Problem at Pollensa Bay (1992) reprint between them all the stories in this collection except the title story “Three Blind Mice”, an alternate version of the play The Mousetrap, and the only Christie short story not published in the UK. Three Blind Mice and Other Stories is a collection of short stories written by Agatha Christie, first published in the US only by Dodd, Mead and Company in 1950.
