Who was Agatha Christie (1890-1976)
With her 78 crime novels, Agatha Christie has the distinction of being the worlds best-selling writer, and «The Mousetrap», one of her 19 plays, has run longer than any other production in the history of the British theatre.
Agatha Christie was born in Torguay, a fashionable coastal resort in southwest England, in September 1890. Her father, Frederic Miller, was an American keen on amateur theatricals.
Despite her mother’s view that no child should be allowed to read until the age of eight, so as not to damage eyes or brain, Agatha managed to find books to read, including Jules Verne’s science fiction. She liked devising word and number puzzles.
