All About Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie is the author of this book, “And Then There Were None”, but also the author of numerous numbers of books today. Agatha was born on September 15^th, 1890 in Torquay, England. Her parents, Fredrick and Clara, also had two other children, Madge and Monty, who were both older than Agatha. By the age of five, Agatha had already taught herself how to read, along with the remainder of her education coming from tutors, part-time schooling and French finishing school. With Agatha’s father dying when she was only eleven years old, she began to travel a lot with her mother, which she loved. Agatha then met her husband, Archie Christie in 1912 and got married on Christmas Eve in 1914. She then became a Voluntary Aid Detachment of the Red Cross Hospital in Torquay during the war, but it wasn’t until her sister challenged her to write a novel that started her love for writing. Her first book, “The Mysterious Affair at Styles”, took her five years to write, but was finally successfully published after being turned down by six different publishers. He first child was born on August 5^th,  1919, but only six years later, her mother died and her husband left her for another woman. Following this hard time for Agatha, she travelled to Baghdad in 1930, where she met her second husband, Max Mallowan, but also found out that her only daughter was seriously ill.  Agatha later continued to travel and write books along her way, which were two things she loved a lot. She then got the nickname, “Queen of Crime”. January 12^th, 1976 was the end of Agatha’s extremely successful career and her happy 46 year marriage to Max.
