Agatha Christies most absorbing mystery -- her own autobiography with new exclusive CD containing newly discovered priceless recordings from more than 40 years ago of Agatha dictating excerpts about her life as a writer. Over the three decades since her death on 12 January 1976 many of Agatha Christies readers & reviewers have maintained that her most compelling book is probably still her least well-known. Her candid Autobiography written mainly in the 1960s modestly ignores the fact that Agatha had become the best-selling novelist in history & concentrates on her fascinating private life. From early childhood at the end of the 19th century through two marriages & two World Wars & her experiences both as a writer & on archaeological expeditions with her second husband Max Mallowan Agatha shares the details of her varied & sometimes complex life with real passion & openness. Then in 2008 Agatha Christies grandson made a remarkable discovery. While clearing out her old house in preparation for its opening to the public Greenway in Devon a box of old tape reels was found to contain the recordings of Agatha dictating her Autobiography for her typist. These remarkable recordings are not only an amazingly rare example of Agathas voice but they also partly explain the engaging nature of her Autobiography
- for they reveal the normally reclusive Agatha telling her own story in a lively spontaneous & often conspiratorial way whose passion in talking about her life is captured in the printed Autobiography. Now this new edition comes complete with a CD of highlights from these priceless tapes giving Agatha Christies millions of fans the opportunity to hear the Queen of Crimes story in her own words & rediscover her remarkable full story in this special edition of her book which is newly introduced by Mathew Prichard the grandson who discovered the tapes.
