About Agatha Christie
Agatha Christie (1890-1976) was an English crime novelist, short-story writer, and playwright. She is best known for her sixty-six detective novels and fourteen short-story collections, particularly those revolving around her fictional detectives Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple.

In 1971, she was elevated to Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) for her contribution to literature.
