Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie was born in Devon, England, on September 15, 1890. She was an English crime novelist who also authored a number of plays and short stories, as well as six romances under the pen name Mary Westmacott. She is best known for her detective books and short crime stories, which she authored without using a pen name and most of which included characters such as Hercule Poirot, Miss Jane Marple, and others, and which were both investigative and well-received. Her work was initially rejected, as it was for most other authors, but her debut novel, The Mysterious Affairs at Styles, was a stepping stone in her literary career thanks to the publishing agency The Bodley Head.

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Agatha Christie is the third most widely published novelist after William Shakespeare and the Bible.
