Christie. GROWING UP
Agatha Christie was born in 1890 to a rich family in the south west of England. She spent a lot of her early childhood alone, with few friends, because her mother decided to teach her at home. She loved reading and started writing at an early age.
EARLY DAYS AS A WRITER
She married her first husband in 1914. A publishing company published her first novel featuring the famous Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot, in 1919. He appeared in 33 of her novels and in 54 short stories but she never liked him!
FOREIGN ADVENTURES
After her divorce in 1926, Agatha Christie married an archaeologist and she developed a great interest in archaeology. She and her husband travelled together to many exotic places and she set a lot of her most successful murder mysteries in those places.
WELL-LOVEDCHARACTERS
Agatha Christie’s other famous detective, after Hercule Poirot, was Miss Jane Marple. Poirot appeared in more novels than Miss Marple, but Christie much preferred Miss Marple as a character. She used her grandmother as the model for Miss Marple!
