Agatha Christie was a mystery writer who was one of the world‘’s top-selling writers. Born on September 15, 1890 in England, she was the youngest of the three children, and was educated at home by her mother, who encouraged her daughter to write. Christie enjoyed fantasy play and creating characters when she was a child, and at 16, she moved to Paris for a time to learn to play the piano and sing. She was very good at it, but she was too shy to start a career in music.
In 1914, Agatha married Archibald Christie. She published her first book, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, in 1920. In the story, she introduced one of her most famous characters—Belgian detective Hercule Poirot, who appeared in more than 40 of her books. Poirot was a nice comic character with egg-shaped head and an eccentric(古怪的)moustache. He is as popular as Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes. Miss Marple, an elderly spinster(老处女)who first appeared in Murder at the Vicarage in 1930, was a typical English character who used her woman’s sensitivity(敏感)to solve crimes.
Agatha Christie wrote over seventy-five detective novels, romantic novels and several short stories and plays, including The Mousetrap. It is considered the world’s longest running play and in 2002 it celebrated its 50th aniversary(周年纪念日). Many of her stories became famous films, including Death on the Nile and Murder on the Orient Express. Christie’s success has earned her titles like the“Queen of Crime”and the “Queen of Mystery”.
