Doug,
"Signe' Picpus" (1944) is a mix of three Maigret short
stories: Signe' Picpus L'inspecteur cadavre Felicie est
la
And.. plus the older "Nouvelles exotiques" that could be
called crime stories, but not detective stories as a such.
They are what Simenon called:
"Nouvelles aventures policieres", title that was changed by
Gallimard, and were written around 1936-37.
"Le bateau d'Emile" -1954- is part of the short stories
forgotten by Simenon (written around 1945) and issued after
his secretary found them in his archives. Not detective
stories, more of his noir/dur vein... The others were
published in 1963 "La rue aux trois poussins" but written in
the early 40's. Not detective stories either.
"Un Noel de Maigret" is dated 1951.
Most Maigrets are constantly re-issued in French, and, in the
recent years, a rather complete "All by Simenon" was issued
in France (whatever was the publisher, collected in a sort of
collection of Omnibus volumes).
