Agatha

Agatha: the real life of Agatha Christie / Anne Martinetti, Guillaume Lebeau & Alexandre Franc 119 pgs.

Agatha Christie was an amazing woman who is often thought of as the most popular English language author. She has been translated into 103 languages and many millions of copies of her books have been sold.  She was a world traveler who loved adventure, was insatiably curious and wrote plays, mysteries, non-fiction and poetry. A lot of events in her life were turned into plot points in her books.  She lived a long, full life.  This graphic biography is interesting and introduces us to some of Christie's famous characters.  It is probably best for those who know a little bit about the subject before they read.  The illustrations are great and this books makes me want to read more about Christie's life.
