Included in this edition are six Hercule Poirot mysteries: The Title also known as The Theft of the Royal Ruby, The Mystery of the Spanish Chest also known as The Baghdad Chest, The Underdog,O Four and Twenty Blackbirds, The Dream and Greenshaw's Folly. Four of them are also in other editions I have read but a nice collection all the same.
The first story 'The Adventure of the Christmas Pudding ' is very good but I just read it in 'Double Sin and Other Stories ' where it was called 'The Adventure of the Jewel' . Also, 'Greenshaw's Folly' was in 'Double Sin and Other Stories '. The other stories are good for short stories.

"This book of Christmas fare may be described as “The Chef’s Selection.” I am the Chef!”
In the foreword by Agatha Christie, we are presented with two main courses, a selection of entrees, and a sorbet, all in the shape of short stories. These shorter formats are not usually my favourite fare but these were easy to consume, even if some were tastier than others :O)
* The Adventure of the Christmas Pudding (a.k.a The Theft of the Royal Ruby)
* The Mystery of the Spanish Chest
* The Under Dog
* Four and Twenty Blackbirds
* The Dream
* Greenshaw’s Folly
Oh and if you get a copy, don’t forget to read that foreword. In it, Christie describes the Christmases of her youth :O)
