Agatha: The Real Life of Agatha Christie

Agatha: The Real Life of Agatha Christie by Anne Martinetti, Guillaume Lebeau, & Alexandre Franc

This is a full color graphic novel biography of the great mystery writer Agatha Christie with references to the books she wrote as their writing ccured during her life. However only some of her most significant titles are mentioned. An interesting feature of this book is that she has a long imaginary relationship with her character Hercule Poirot, with briefer appearances of Miss Marple and Tommy and Tuppence, talking to them as if they are there with her. The authors tell of Christie's trips on the Orient Express, and her journey up the Nile River which became research for two of her most famous books. The book ends with a three page timeline of her life and a three page bibliography of her published works.
