Agatha Christie, in full Dame Agatha Mary Clarissa Christie (15 September 1890 ? 12 January 1976) was an English writer of crime stories. Her books are very famous all over the world, and she sold a lot of books. Her stories are about murders and finding out who did them. The most well-known characters in her books are Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot. Miss Marple is an old lady, and she talks to everyone. She uses logic to find out who is guilty of the murder. Hercule Poirot is a private detective from Belgium who lives in London. He likes to find out who did the murder by thinking about all the evidence. Christie was born in Torquay. She was married twice; she had a daughter called Rosalind Hicks. She worked in a hospital and in a pharmacy during World War I. She also wrote romance novels and plays. They were very successful too. In 1971, she was honoured by the Queen with the title Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire. Christie died on 12 January 1976 at age 85 from natural causes at her Winterbrook House in the north of Cholsey parish, adjoining Wallingford in Oxfordshire (formerly part of Berkshire). She is buried in the nearby churchyard of St Mary's, Cholsey. The Guinness Book of World Records ranks Christie as the best-selling novelist ever. Her novels have sold about 4 billion copies. Her works are the world's most-widely published books after those of William Shakespeare and the Bible. Her books have been translated into at least 103 languages. Christie's best-selling novel is And Then There Were None. It has sold 100 million copies. It is the world's best-selling mystery novel. Biography Agatha Christie as a girl, date unknown Blue plaque, 58 Sheffield Terrace, Holland Park, London Christened Agatha Mary Clarissa Miller, in Torquay, Devon, England, she was the daughter of a United States-born father and a British mother. (However, she never held U.S. citizenship.) Christie's first marriage, an unhappy one, was in 1914 to Colonel Archibald Christie, an aviator in the Royal Flying Corps. The couple had one daughter, Rosalind Hicks, and divorced in 1928. During World War I she worked at a hospital and then a pharmacy, a job that also influenced her work: many of the murders in her books are carried out with poison. In December 1926 she disappeared for eleven days, causing quite a storm in the press. Her car was found abandoned in a chalk pit. She was eventually found staying at a hotel in Harrogate, where she claimed to have suffered amnesia due to a nervous breakdown following the death of her mother and her husband's confessed infidelity. Opinions are still divided as to whether this was a publicity stunt or not. A 1979 film, Agatha, starring Vanessa Redgrave as Christie, recounted a fictionalised version of the disappearance. In 1930, Christie married a Roman Catholic, Sir Max Mallowan, a British archaeologist 14 years her junior, and her travels with him contributed background to several of her novels set in the Middle East. Other novels (such as And Then There Were None) were set in and around Torquay, Devon, where she was born. In 1971 she was granted the title of Dame Commander of the British Empire. Agatha Christie died on January 12, 1976, at age 85 from natural causes, at Winterbrook House, Cholsey near Wallingford, Oxfordshire. She is buried at St. Mary's Churchyard in Cholsey, Oxon. Christie's only child, Rosalind Hicks, died on October 28, 2004, also aged 85, from natural causes. Christie's grandson, Matthew Prichard, now owns the royalties to his grandmother's works. Two of her novels were written at the height of her career but held back until after her death: they were the last cases of Poirot and Miss Marple. In the final Poirot novel Curtain, Christie killed her creation and explained in her diary that she had always found him insufferable. She had a great fondness for Miss Marple, who was based largely on Christie's own grandmother, so she allowed Miss Marple to solve one more mystery in Sleeping Murder and return to the solitude of her village. However, since Sleeping Murder had been written quite a while previously, at least one character (Colonel Arthur Bantry, husband of Jane Marple's friend, Dolly) who had been declared deceased in earlier-released mysteries reappeared alive and well.

In the middle of Chapter Two, I realized that she wasn't really writing simply as the protagonist. She was telling us how she feels about certain special books from her childhood. She was using the voice of her protagonist as an author surrogate. Agatha Christie is the most successful fiction writer in history, worldwide. She is rated #3 in terms of sales across all genres, beaten only by The Bible and Shakespeare. So maybe we should listen to her. Maybe. I'm currently reading Postern of Fate, which is the last book Dame Agatha Christie ever wrote. It's a Tommy and Tuppence mystery, and as Dame Christie was in her 80s while writing this book, Tommy and Tuppence are in their 70s and have moved to a new home in the country for their retirement. Now, this book has gotten a lot of flack from critical, impatient readers. About their gripes I can only say this: clearly they don't talk much to their grandmothers. It's widely believed that Christie suffered Alzheimer's, and knowing she passed away only three years after writing this book, I'm amazed that she was able to bring this together. She really is the queen of mystery writing. This was Christie's last story. It should not be devoured as you would her earlier works. It should be sidled up to with a hot drink and some time. Consideration. What Tuppence Thinks and Feels (and the clue) What I find fascinating about this novel is that Christie mentions a slew of children's books in the first two chapters. In fact, much of the beginning of this novel is really about Tuppence sharing her thoughts on books she loved as a child and how she doesn't understand why more children don't read as much these days ? which would have been 1972 or so. As a structural plot point, well ? this doesn't address any plot point. The point is clearly personal, the author's need to share with us something she thinks and feels. She has every right to do that. It's sincere. It's clear that Tuppence must be the inner voice of Agatha Christie here. She is divulging her love of reading books from the age of five. About that she says (as Tuppence), "I read at five years old. Everybody could, when I was young." Again, Christie all but lists the books she loved most as a child. There is no plot reason to do this and it doesn't really help build the Tuppence character, either. It's personal. It's her message to us: "Read these books." Childhood Stories and Home This is really interesting to me. When you realize too that the home in the novel is described to be the home Dame Christie retired into, this underscores the personal import of what are ultimately the woman's last words to her readers. Dame Christie wants us to know about her childhood love of books, not just theoretically but practically. That there are moments in the story that seem to be repeated and a strong theme in the story is that Tommy and Tuppence have grown forgetful is not incidental. This is the author's reality, as tangible and specific as the books she names and the favored authors she mentions. An Impressive Hot Object One of the things I love about this book: a children's book is the hot object! What starts as a nostalgic favorite read (which Tuppence can't help but start reading, though she really ought to be organizing her bookshelves (does this sound like something a writer might do? Hm...)) soon becomes the object that flings our retired investigators into a murder mystery. Tuppence discovers a secret code written inside a children's book: Mary Jordan did not die naturally. It was one of us. I think I know which. This has to be one of the coolest premises of a mystery book ever. The characters are witty and their funny banter is just very enjoyable. I sense that Dame Christie had fun with this story and that makes me happy. What Book Was It? So what book was it, the book where a secret message was coded? It's a real book, one that Christie must have loved: The Black Arrow by Robert Louis Stevenson. This is the hot object, the important book that jump-starts the mystery, in Christie's last book. So I'm going to have to read it, naturally. But Christie mentions many other books as worthwhile reads from her childhood. Some of them I also love, but a fair number are unknown to me. So I've got some reading to do! Agatha Christie's Children's Book Recommendations Here is the list of childhood reading Dame Agatha Christie recommends... These are the titles Agatha Christie specifically mentions as wonderful stories ? and all just in the first two chapters of her book. (Click on an author name for more information about that person.) Robert Louis Stevenson The Black Arrow (a.k.a. the hot object) Treasure Island Kidnapped Catriona Lewis Carroll Alice in Wonderland Alice Through the Looking Glass Mrs. Molesworth The Cuckoo Clock Four Winds Farm The Tapestry Room Andrew Lang The Red Romance The Orange Fairy Book The Pink Fairy Book The Lilac Fairy Book (There are many Lang fairy books, but the Orange, Pink and Lilac are probably her favorites, as she mentions them specifically.) An Eton Boy (a.k.a. George Nugent-Bankes) A Day of My Life: Everyday Experiences at Eton Stanley Weyman Under the Red Robe The Red Cockade (Christie writes, "lots and lots of Weymans.") L. T. Meade (a.k.a. Elizabeth Thomasina Meade Smith) L.T. Meade is mentioned by name in particular, though none of her titles were mentioned. However, she was incredibly prolific ? so lots to choose from! A. A. Milne Charlotte Yonge Unknown to History The Daisy Chain E. Nesbit Anthony Hope Keep Reading, Keep Writing I think we should always be reading, always looking at what others have done and are doing. If one of the greatest writers known should have a list of favorite childhood books, you can bet I'll be adding those to my must-read list. How about you? What books do you cherish? What do you recommend? Write below, let everyone know! Keep creating, no matter what. --Download Childrens Books Agatha Christie Loves as PDF --
