World Of Agatha ChristieThe Facts and Fiction of the World's Greatest Crime Writer

Format: Hardback

Condition: New — £26.50
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

As early as 1962, it was reported that the sales of Agatha Christie's books had comfortably overtaken Shakespeare and made her the most widely read British author in the world, with only the Bible more widely translated. That same year her play, The Mousetrap, celebrated its tenth year in continuous production in London -- now a 47-year run! Christie was a discreet, private person who avoided celebrity and disliked publicity, to the extent of staging her suicide and attempting to disappear in 1926. At the same time, she was very cosmopolitan, and traveled widely with her second husband, a distinguished archaeologist. This heavily illustrated book by Martin Fido will surely satisfy the millions of Agatha Christie readers who crave more information about this intriguing and remarkable woman.
