Agatha Christie: Inside the Mind of Agatha Christie and Agatha Christie's England DVD
Both fascinating Agatha Christie programs together on one DVD:
Inside the Mind of Agatha Christie
Surpassed only by the Bible and Shakespeare, Agatha Christie is the most successful
writer of all time. We all know her characters and incredible plot twists, but what
do we know about the Agatha herself? Combining rare access to Agatha's family,
her personal archive and speaking to those who know her work best, we discover what
made the world's most successful crime writer tick. Discover how an isolated childhood
sparked Agatha's imagination, how her time as a pharmacist during WWI gave her
a knowledge of medicine as well as poison; how travelling the world transformed her
writing into a serious profession; and how during WWII, Agatha's own sense of
mortality made her output more urgent, writing an awesome 3-4 books every year.
Agatha Christie’s England
There is no more quintessentially English writer than Agatha Christie. Through her
sensational murder mysteries, she created a literary universe that captured our national
spirit like no one before or since. But the magical worlds where she set her stories
are in fact drawn from real places. With access to both her family and those who lived
with her and knew her best, we hear how Agatha drew on her surroundings as a magpie
would, as both the people, and the places she encounter, found themselves immortalized
in her extraordinary canon of work.
