And Then There Were None has been Agatha Christies best selling novel, with 100

Agatha Christie described her childhood as a happy one. Agatha Christie was born on
September 15, 1890, Torquay, Devon, England. All her childhood she alternated living places
between her home in Devon, her stepgrandmothers house andheraunt'shousein Ealing,West
London. She had home education and she loved arithmetic. She learned to be musicalandliked
playing piano. Agatha Christie loved to read even when she was just a little girl, but she spent
most of her time alone, isolated from other girls, as she was very shy and reclusive. But she
loved her pets, which she said were adorable. Her father was oftenill, sufferingfromaseriesof
heart attacks, and he died in November 1901, aged 55. Agatha Christie later claimed that her
father's death, occurring when she was eleven years old, marked the end of her childhood. In

1902, Agatha Christie was sent to MissGuyer'sGirlsSchoolinTorquay,butfounditdifficult to

adjust to the crowded different atmosphere. she was sent to Paris where she was educated in
three pensions:MademoiselleCabernet,LesMarronniers,andthenMissDryden's,whichserved
as her finishing school. When she returned home in 1910 and found that her mother was ill,
because of that she took her mother to Cairoforthewarmerweather.Thenshestartedsearching

Agatha Christie was Christian but she still believes that each human has a dark sideand
the dark side takes over with jealousyorrageorsomeothersinofthekind. Andthatinjusticeis
restored by a person who solves the crimes and restores justice. She stopped going to church
