Outsold only by the Bible and Shakespeare, Agatha Christie's books
have been translated into over 100 languages. She was a very
private person, but Osborne approaches her mainly through her
books, comparing contemporary reviews of them to events in her
life, and in so doing creates a perfect accompaniment to her
brilliant stories. (Kirkus UK)
A comprehensive and authorised biographical companion to the works
of Agatha Christie covering books, films, TV and plays - revised
and updated edition. Agatha Christie was the author of over 100
plays, short story collections and novels which have been
translated into 103 languages; she is outsold only by the Bible and
Shakespeare. Many have tried to copy her but none has succeeded.
Attempts to capture her personality on paper, to discover her
motivations or the reasons for her popularity, have usually failed.
Charles Osborne, a lifelong student of Agatha Christie, has
approached this most private of persons above all through her
books, and the result is a fascinating companion to her life and
work. This 'professional life' of Agatha Christie provides
authoritative information on each book's provenance, on the work
itself and on its contemporary critical reception set against the
background of the major events in the author's life. Illustrated
with many rare photographs, this comprehensive guide to the world
of Agatha Christie has been fully updated to include details of all
the publications, films and TV adaptations in the 25 years since
her death.
