Excerpt: Poirot's Early Cases is a short story collection written by Agatha Christie and first published in the UK by Collins Crime Club in September 1974. The book retailed at 2.25. Although the stories contained within the volume had all appeared in previous US collections, the book also appeared there later in 1974 under the slightly different title of Hercule Poirot's Early Cases in an edition retailing at $6.95.

All the stories had first been published in periodicals between 1923 and 1935.

Agatha Christie

This is a slightly complex case. 'The Christmas Adventure' is an early version of the story that would later be expanded upon and turned into the more detailed story 'The Adventure of the Christmas Pudding.' However, 'Christmas Pudding' is also published under the title 'The Theft of the Royal Ruby.'

'Pudding' and 'Ruby' are pretty much the same story, aside from a possible changed word or two for cultural reasons between the US and UK versions. 'Christmas Adventure' has never been published in an official collection in the US, although 'Royal Ruby' is in Double Sin and Other Stories. If you want to read 'Christmas Adventure,' you will have to go to a UK website or possibly Amazon.com and buy the UK collection While the Light Lasts and Other Stories. Bottom line, 'Christmas Adventure' has the same basic plot as the later versions, but it's much shorter and some minor details are different from the later versions.
