Since it was Agatha Christie's 133rd birthday yesterday, we've an excuse to share these again - pics of her cookery books taken in the kitchen when we visited her Dartside holiday home, Greenway near Brixham in Devon. It was her wish the house be kept as it was, so there's a sense she and her family actually used them.

And, yes, we also noticed a book on thallium poisoning among the 5000 books in her library.

An assortment of hard- and soft-backed cookery books stand in a row filling a shelf. The shelving's white and the background wall is painted deep blue. A clear protective strip runs across the shelf part way up the books. A set of two-pan scales sits in front of the books, it's body looks made of jigsawed wooden pieces painted white with a blue 70s floral design. Two white or cream pie funnels are in front of the scale pans and a blue hand whisk with metal beaters can be seen hanging down from the top left.
An assortment of hard- and soft-backed cookery books stand in two rows filling a shelf, one row in front of the other. The shelving's white and the background wall is painted deep blue. A clear protective strip runs across the shelf part way up the books and a handwritten sign on white card tells visitors not to touch them. A small black chicken ornament with a red comb and a white object that could be a serviette holder are placed on the shelf on either side of the sign.
