completed her education. Amongst other subjects, she studied singing and the

piano. She enjoyed writing, from an early age her mother encouraged her in the use

of her unusual imagination. At the age of 24, Agatha married Archibald Christie,

an aviator in the Royal Flying Corps. Five years later in 1919, a daughter Rosalind

was born and nine years later, in 1928 the couple divorced. By this time Agatha

had become a writer of murder, mystery and suspense. Her first novel 'The

Mysterious Affair at Styles’ was published in 1920.

Agatha Christie married for a second time and in 1938 the family moved to

Greenway House, a handsome residence on the River Dart in the West Country.

In her lifetime, she wrote 66 detective stories. Seventeen Miss Marple, over 40

Hercule Poirot. Agatha also wrote plays.  Over two billion copies of her books

have been sold and her work has been translated into more languages than
