Agatha Christie’s popular detectives feature in new Mr Men and Little Miss stories – Mischief on the Nile and Muddle at the Vicarage
The latest adaptation of Agatha Christie’s works features an unlikely new suspect: Mr Tickle, of Mr Men and Little Miss fame.
Joining the likes of Mr Nosey and Little Miss Chatterbox are Mr Poirot and Little Miss Marple, who star in new retellings of some of Christie’s most famous stories.
Little Miss Marple: Muddle at the Vicarage and Mr Poirot: Mischief on the Nile are published today, marking the first time the queen of crime’s works have been reimagined for preschool and primary school-aged children in illustrated book format. Two further titles will follow in February.
Christie’s great-grandson, James Prichard, who is CEO of Agatha Christie Ltd, said that as a lifelong fan of the Mr Men and Little Miss books, it has “always” been his wish to put Poirot and Miss Marple into that universe, describing the project as a “dream collaboration”.
