-'''Hercule Poirot''' the famous and long-lived character is a fictional retired [[Belgian]] detective created by [[Agatha Christie]] (1890-1976).  Christie, "The Duchess of Death",  admitted that she was writing in the "Sherlock Holmes" tradition, as the famous fictional detective created by [[Arthur Conan Doyle]].
-From ''The Mysterious Affair at Styles'' (published 1920) to ''Curtain'' (published 1975) the public loved Poirot's adventures, and Christie's work. The Belgian police officer, with his waxed ''mustache'' and his ''little grey cells'', was to become one of the most enduring characters in all of fiction.
