Poirot And Me - **Double Signed** Suchet David, Wansell Geoffrey Biography

Now in protected jacket, slight rippling to front board, signed 'To Hilary, David Suchet + Geoffrey Wansell' to the title page. No one could have been more surprised than David when he was asked to play the role of Hercule Poirot back in 1988. Best known for dark and brooding parts, this was a new direction for him, and one that at first he was uncertain about. But as a character actor he embraced the challenge, reading all of the stories and creating a definitive roll call of characteristics that was to define his portrayal. By the end of 2013 David Suchet will have played the detective in every one of the seventy Poirot stories that Agatha Christie wrote, something he could never have imagined back in 1988. In the very last episode, Curtain, he will also have bid him a very sad goodbye. In Poirot and Me, he shares his many memories of creating this iconic television series and reflects on what the detective has meant to him over the years.
