 Welcome back to the Kindle tour!

 The Classics section is home to the important classics of literature that don't fit into other categories.  Some of the titles include Lost Horizon by James Hilton, The Lost Prince by Frances Hodgson Burnett, Little Women, King Solomon's Mines, Babbitt, a lot of Edith Wharton, The Handmaid's Tale, A nimal Farm, and Nathaniel Hawthorne.

 This category could use some revamp, since I established a "Historical Fiction" category later in the game, that provides a place for works that aren't classic but older.

 Yes, each of these series has their own collection on the Kindle.

 The Bobbsey Twins ones in here are actually older (1904, copyright free) Kindle versions, so they have a little of the old-fashioned element.  I will say that NOT too much changedm although the treatment of Sam and Dinah improved with revisions.

 With Cherry on Kindle, I've discovered some of books are actually collections.  That's been handy a time or two.  The Cherry collection is mainly backup for when the books are packed up.

 The first post in my promised "Kindle tour".

 Since the Kindle lists things alphabetically, Dame Agatha's collection comes up first.  There's currently 18 items in it - but the Agatha Christie collection does not include titles that are listed in my Desert Island collection, or the separate collection of Christie shorts.

 I don't have all of her work on Kindle, although it's mostly represented in my print collection (with a few titles that I didn't like) since Harper Collins put out some lovely trades.  I do keep my eye on Kindle Daily Deals to add to the collection.

 The collection includes: Murder on the Links, Hercule Poirot's Christmas, Five Little Pigs, Towards Zero, Poirot's Early Cases, The Mirror Crack'd From Side to Side, 4:50 from Paddington, At Bertram's Hotel, A Murder is Announced, Murder in Mesopotamia, Endless Night, Peril at End House, Lord Edgware Dies, The Murder at the Vicarage, and Sparkling Cyanide.

 There are also a few titles that aren't strictly Christie mysteries.  John Curran's Agatha Christie's Secret Notebooks is in here (which I found fascinating from a writer's POV, just seeing some of the different paths she didn't take), as well as Clues to Christie, which is a sort of roundup of Christies work.  It also includes the new Poirot mystery by Sophie Hannah, called The Monogram Murders.  It was a decent read, but I'm glad I got it on a Daily Deal and not in HC.
