Agatha Christie's birth name was Agatha Mary Clarissa Miller. She was born on September 15, 1890 in the English town of Troquay. She died on January 12, 1976 in Wallingford. She was nicknamed The Queen of Crime. She married twice, first to Archibald Christie and then to Max E.L Mallowan. She had 1 child with her first husband. She was made Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1971 for her contributions to literature. What is weird is that in 1926, she mysteriously disappeared for several days for no known reason, and that still remains unexplained today. Her play, The Mousetrap, was made the longest production of any kind in British Theatre history on April 12, 1958. But it had actually opened in London on November 25, 1952.
She has wrote many novels during her life, and people have sold over 2 billion copies worldwide. This makes her sales only surpassed by the Bible and Shakespeare's works. She is definitely one of the best selling authors of all time. Her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, was also her first novel to showcase her eccentric Belgian detective Hercule Poirot. Her last published novel, Sleeping Murder, featured the famous sleuth known as Miss Jane Marple. And since she has sold over 2 billion copies of her books, they have all been translated into over a hundred languages. Lastly, her novel known as And Then There Were None remains as her number 1 best selling novel.
so is this book an autobiography and she is the author,or is this background info on the topic?

ReplyDeleteIt was a pretty good post, but you highlighted most of the blog from a different site because it has different fill color if I use a quote. Next time you should talk about between the author and the book.
