My Friend Maigret: Georges Simenon

Introducing Little Clothbound Classics: irresistible, mini editions of short stories, novellas and essays from the world`s greatest writers, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith

Celebrating the range and diversity of Penguin Classics, they take us from snowy Japan to springtime Vienna, from haunted New England to a sun-drenched Mediterranean island, and from a game of chess on the ocean to a love story on the moon. Beautifully designed and printed, these collectible editions are bound in colourful, tactile cloth and stamped with foil.

Georges Simenon`s brilliant pipe-smoking detective, Jules Maigret, is one of the most beloved literary creations of the twentieth century. In this adventure, an officer from Scotland Yard is studying Maigret`s methods when a call from an island off the Cote d`Azure sends the two men off to an isolated community to investigate its eccentric inhabitants.
