Agatha Christie – her life and work

GROWING UP

Agatha Christie was born in 1890 to a rich family in the south west of England. She spent a lot of her early childhood alone, with few friends, because her mother decided to teach her at home. She loved reading and started writing at an early age.

EARLY DAYS AS A WRITER

She married her first husband in 1914. A publishing company published her rst novel featuring the famous Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot, in 1919. He ppeared in 33 of her novels and in 54 short stories but she never liked him!

FOREIGN ADVENTURES

After her divorce in 1926, Agatha Christie married an archaeologist and she developed a great interest in archaeology. She and her husband travelled together to many exotic places and she set a lot of her most successful murder mysteries in those places.

WELL-LOVED CHARACTERS

Agatha Christie’s other famous detective, after Hercule Poirot, was Miss Jane Marple. Poirot appeared in more novels than Miss Marple, but Christie much preferred Miss Marple as a character. She used her grandmother as the model for Miss Marple!

RECORD-BREAKING STATISTICS

Agatha Christie, the ‘queen of crime’, died in 1976 at the age of 85. She is the best-selling novelist of all time: her 66 detective novels and 14 short story collections are available in more than 100 languages; and sales of her books are approximately 4 billion copies. Her play The Mousetrap opened in London in 1952 and it was still on in 2015 – an unbelievable 63 years later!
