London England: Collins. Hardback. First Edition. The Life and Crimes of Agatha Christie. Very slight foxing to edge. Very slight shelf wear to edge of D/J. Agatha Christie was the author of some 85 novels which have been translated into 103 languages; she is outsold only by the Bible and Shakespeare. Many have tried to copy her but none has succeeded. Attempts to capture her personality on paper, to discover her motivations or the reasons for her popularity, have so far failed. The author, a lifelong student of Agatha Christie, approaches this most private persons above all through her books. Charles Osborne has compiled a 'professional life' of Agatha Christie, providing authoratitive information on each book's provenance, on the work itself and on its contemporary critical reception set against the background of the major events in the author's life. Illustrated with many black-and-white photographs, this comprehensive guide to the world of Agatha Christie will be found by her many admirers to be indispensable. Illustrated. 256 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.) . Very Good. Cloth. First Edition. 1982.
