Agatha Christie Book Covers [3]


 
 
Agatha Christie's detective novels were among my favourite books when I was a teenager. Decades later, I enjoyed them again in their TV renditions. These books have been reprinted numerous times, but there is something about the covers of the Fontana paperback series issued mainly in the sixties and seventies that is very appealing. The consistency in the illustrations suggest they were all done by the same artist, but unfortunately I could not find out who it was (or were). There are so many of them (link) that this is already the third post with this subject. In contrast with the first post on this theme, and in line with my new year's resolution for the blog, I'm not adding text to these book covers. The image above was created via Photofunia
