Agatha Mary Clarissa Christie is possibly the world’s most famous detective story writer. She wrote 79
novels and several plays. Her sales outnumber those of William Shakespeare. However, behind her 4,680,000
words she was a painfully shy woman whose life was often lonely and unhappy.
She was born in 1890 in Devon, the third child of Clarissa and Frederick Miller, and grew into a beautiful and
sensitive girl with waist-length golden hair. She didn’t go to school but was educated at home by her mother. Her
father died when she was 11 and both she and her mother were grief-stricken.
During World War 1, while she was working in a hospital dispensary, she learned about chemicals and poisons,
which proved to be very useful to her in her later career. She wrote her first detective novel, The Mysterious Affair
at Styles, in 1920. In it she introduced Hercule Poirot, the Belgian detective who appeared in many subsequent
novels. Her other main detective was an elderly spinster called Miss Marple.
