Agatha Christie has been called the world’s greatest mystery writer. William Shakespeare is the only English author
whose works have been translated more often than Christie’s. She wrote approximately one novel a year to produce a
final total of more than 80 books.
When Agatha was a young girl in England, she hoped to become a great singer. After lessons in Paris, she realized that
her voice was not good enough. It was some time, though, before her first novel was accepted by a publisher. Once
published, the book was successful, and from that time on, many more success were to follow. Many readers become
facscinated with Hercule Poirot, the clever Belgian detective of Christie’s mysterious stories.
Agatha liked to say that she got her best story ideas while sitting in the bathtub eating apples. Although her mystery
stories concern murders, she did not emphasize violence for its own sake. Two of her best known novels are The Murder

of Roger Ackroyd and Ten Little Indians. One of her plays, The Mousetrap, opened in London in 1952, and when it was
given for the 800
th
time in 1972, it had broken the record for continious performances.
