All You Want to Know About Agatha Christie

Agatha Miller was born in 1890 in Devon, England. Agatha's father died when she was 10. She did not attend school but was educated by her governess. Not being surrounded by other children, Agatha learned how to entertain herself and create her own games. And her imagination grew from there.

When Agatha was 24, she married Archibald Christie, a World War I flyer. They had a daughter, Rosalind, in 1919. To support the war effort, Agatha worked as a nurse in a hospital and became knowledgeable about illnesses, and while she was at it, poisons. This led to her first novel, "The Mysterious Affair at Styles." She became a published author in 1920.

In 1924 Agatha and her husband divorced. In 1930 she married Max Mallow. They remained married until her death in 1977. At the time of her death Agatha had written 66 novels, 160 short stories and 16 plays. If you're a true fan, don't miss her six romance novels under the name Mary Westmacott.
