With a ten-month itinerary that would take her across South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii and Canada, The Grand Tour is a unique record of Agatha Christie's round-the-world journey of 1922, told through her own extensive and lively letters home to her mother.
The letters are full of tales of motor trips and surf boarding, seasickness and sunburn, glamour and misery. The places and people come to life in the photos Agatha took on her portable camera, as well as some of the original postcards and newspaper cuttings she collected on her trip.
Introduced by Agatha Christie's grandson, Mathew Prichard, and accompanied by reminiscences from her own Autobiography, this unique travelogue reveals a young adventurous side to Agatha Christie, one that would ultimately influence the exotic stories that made her a household name.
