Only the works of William Shakespeare(莎士比亞) and the Bible(圣經(jīng)) have sold more copies than Agatha Christies novels(小說(shuō)).
Agatha Christie is, without a doubt, the most famous mystery(偵探、推理小說(shuō)) writer in the world. Her books have been translated into more than 100 languages. All 77 novels and story collections(故事集) she wrote are still in print 25 years after her death.
Agatha Christie was born in 1890 in a southwest England seaside(海濱) town. She enjoyed a very comfortable childhood in a big house with plenty of servants(仆人). With her sister and brother away at school, she often played alone. She passed the time by making up stories which she told to herself.
克里斯蒂顯然從小就發(fā)現(xiàn)了自己編造故事的天賦,并善用這種天賦,成就了自己的偵探故事王國(guó)。她本人也被稱作是Queen of Crime(偵探小說(shuō)女王)。
