Sára (15 years old, Orosháza)

Sára has been receiving medical care at in Miskolc, and between the treatments she stays at Ronald McDonald House there. She is very mature for her age: she is forthcoming, talkative and interested in all sorts of things. She reads a lot and never feels bored. Her favourite author is J. K. Rowling of Harry Potter fame, and she is also a big fan of Agatha Christie. During our recent meeting, she told us that she had already watched almost all the film adaptations of the latter author’s novels, and that she has them all on DVD.

Asked if there was something she would really like to have – something her parents would find very difficult to buy for her – she said yes, indeed, she would love to own a copy of an Agatha Christie novel autographed by British actor David Suchet, who played Hercule Poirot in those films. The novel should be Suchet’s favourite, and could be in English, she added.

Of course, the genie of Magic Lamp went to work without delay. And in less than three weeks, the signed book arrived from England…

We handed over the present to Sara at the Ronald McDonald House (we hereby thank all the staff for their kind help and support). She got all excited when she saw the small package wrapped in pink foil paper. She unwrapped it with extreme care and her eyes filled with tears when she realised that she was holding the book she had dreamed of for so long…

Mr Suchet did indeed sign a copy of Agatha Christie's The ABC Murders for her and arranged for it to be sent to Sara along with an autographed photo showing him in the role of Hercule Poirot.

Dear Sára, we wish you all the best and we hope that you will find this book - sent to you with so much love by Mr Suchet - compelling and entertaining.

On behalf of Sára, we would also like to thank Mr. David Suchet, the staff of Maecenas Publishing House and Mr Ákos Balogh for their kind support.
