1 Agatha Mary Clarissa Miller was born on September 15, 1890 in the seaside resort town of Torquay, Devon , in the family of Frederick (1846-1901) and Clarissa (nee Bomer; 1854-1926) Miller, becoming the third child after Margaret “Mudge” daughter ( in the marriage of Frery; 1879-1950) and the son of Louis Montand "Monti" (1880-1929). As a child, Agatha received a good home education, which was mainly given to her by her father, an American. Her mother, Klara, was an excellent storyteller and did not want to teach her beloved youngest daughter to reading until she was eight years old. But the girl, out of boredom, independently learned to read at the age of five, having absorbed the works of the English children's writer Edith Nesbit “The Story of the Treasure Seekers” and “The Railway Children” ), as well as the novel by American writer Louise May Alcott, "Little Women." In addition, she made up imaginary friends for herself, played with her animals, attended dance classes, and began to write poetry . When Agatha was five years old, the family, in order to save money, rented their house in Ashfield and moved to France for a while, where from her "governess" Marie the girl learned the messy idiomatic French language . In 1901, at the age of eleven, Agatha lost her father: he died, having suffered several heart attacks due to his financial difficulties. After the death of her husband, Clara was in despair and Agatha became her mother’s closest friend and assistant. Due to a lack of money, the family began to think about selling a house in Ashfield, but soon a solution was found. At the age of fifteen, Agatha was assigned a pension, from which she began to take piano lessons and singing, and only her painful shyness and fear of the stage prevented her from becoming a professional pianist. At the age of eighteen, she had fun writing short stories, some of which were published in a revised form in the 1930s by an English playwright and family friend Eden Phillpotts.

2During World War I (1914-1918), Agatha worked as a nurse in a voluntary medical care unit at the International Red Cross Hospital in Torquay ; she liked this profession, and she spoke of it as “one of the most useful professions that a person can do” (Eng. “... one of the most rewarding professions that anyone can follow”) . She also worked as a pharmacist in a pharmacy, which subsequently left an imprint on her work: 83 crimes in her works were committed through poisoning .

For the first time, Agatha married on Christmas Eve in 1914 Colonel Archibald Christie, pilot of the Royal Flight Corps , whom she met in 1912 when he was still a lieutenant. And soon after marriage, December 27, 1914, Archie returned to military service in France, and during the war the couple almost did not see each other. Their full-fledged family life began only in January 1918, when Archie was sent to the military department in London, where a young family rented an apartment. On August 5, 1919, the spouses gave birth to a daughter, Rosalind (the only daughter of Agatha Christie) . This period was the beginning of the career of Agatha Christie

3/4Thanks to Christie's trips with her husband to the Middle East, the events of several of her works took place there. The scene of other novels (for example, “Ten Little Indians”) was the city of Torquay or its environs, the place where Christie was born . The 1934 Orient Express Murder novel was written at the Pera Palace Hotel in Istanbul, Turkey, where Agatha Christie lived. Room 411 of this hotel now houses her memorial museum . The Greenway Estate in Devon, which the couple bought in 1938 , is protected by the National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty

Christie often stayed at the Abney Hall mansion in Cheshire, which was owned by Major James Watts, her sister's husband. At least two works of Christie took place on this estate: Adventure of Christmas Pudding (1937), the story is also included in the eponymous collection, and the novel After the Funeral (1952) . “Ebney Hall has become an inspiration to Agatha; from here were taken descriptions of places such as Styles, Chimniz, Stownates and other houses, which in one way or another are Ebni "
