Miss Marple

The local tea room in the quaint old

English village of St. Mary Mead was the

gathering place for all the local identities.

It was a hotbed of gossip, and to anyone

of an enquiring mind, like Miss Marple, it

was a constant source

of useful information.

It was Miss Marple's shrewd powers of

observation that enabled her to solve

many a dastardly crime.

As she herselfso often observed,

'Human nature is muchthe same

everywhere, and of course, one has the opportunity of seeing it all at close

quarters in a village like St. Mary Mead.'

Sometimes, the charming old lady

could be found busily engaged in her

garden, casting a watchful eye over

 the passersby; or on the outskirts of

St. Mary Mead, binoculars poised,

enjoying her favourite hobby of

bird watching.

Miss Marple was

the delightful character created by Agatha

Christie, portrayed on the screen to

perfection by Margaret Rutherford.

We trust that you too, will enjoy observing

the local characters and identities, as you

relax in the cosiness of Miss Marple's Tea

Room, in the village of Sassafras.
