Agatha Christie
(1890-1976) is known throughout the world as
the Queen of Crime. Her books have sold over a billion copies
in English with another billion in over 100 foreign languages.
She is the most widely published and translated author of all time
and in any language; only the Bible and Shakespeare have sold
more copies. She is the author of 80 crime novels and short story
collections, 19 plays, and six other novels.
The Mousetrap
, her
most famous play, was first staged in 1952 in London and is still
performed there —it is the longest-running play in history.
Agatha Christie’s first novel was published in 1920. It featured
Hercule Poirot, the Belgian detective who has become the
most popular detective in crime fiction since Sherlock Holmes.
Collins has published Agatha Christie since 1926.
This series
has been especially created for readers

Recording
