- The author of 78 mystery novels, 19 plays, and 100 short stories - translated into 44 languages worldwide - as well as three books of poetry, six romance novels, and two nonfiction works, Agatha Christie is the 20th century's most published writer. Only the works of Shakespeare and the Bible have outsold her own. For the legion of Christie's devoted fans as well as for newcomers to her canon, Agatha Christie A to Z is a richly detailed companion to her life and works. This encyclopedic guide contains 2,500 entries covering all aspects of the Christie phenomenon including Christie's relationships with friends, relatives, and associates; all the known facts about her mysterious 1926 10-day disappearance; chapter by chapter synopses of her mystery stories (omitting the solutions to the crimes); and coverage of film, stage, and TV adaptations of her works.
