''The Hound of Death and Other Stories'' is a collection of twelve short stories by Agatha Christie first published in the United Kingdom in October 1933. Unusually, the collection was not published by Christie's regular publishers, William Collins & Sons, but by Odhams Press, and was not available to purchase in shops (see ''Publication of book collection'' below). This was the first time that a Christie book had been published in the UK but not in the US, although all of the stories contained within it appeared in later US collections (see ''US book appearances of stories'' below). Unusually, most of these are tales of fate and the supernatural, with comparatively little detective content. This collection is most notable for the first appearance in a book of Christie's famous short story ''The Witness for the Prosecution''. The author subsequently wrote an award-winning play based on this story which has been adapted for film and twice for television. ==List of stories== * ''The Hound of Death'' * ''The Red Signal'' * ''The Fourth Man'' * ''The Gypsy'' * ''The Lamp'' * ''Wireless'' * ''The Witness for the Prosecution'' * ''The Mystery of the Blue Jar'' * ''The Strange Case of Sir Arthur Carmichael'' * ''The Call of Wings'' * ''The Last Seance'' * ''SOS'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Hound of Death」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
