Agatha Christie was an English writer and known for her 66 detective novels and 14 short story collections, particularly those revolving around her fictional detectives Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple. Christie also wrote the world's longest-running play, a murder mystery, The Mousetrap, and six romances under the name Mary Westmacott. In 1971 she was appointed a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) for her contribution to literature. She was initially an unsuccessful writer with six rejections, but this changed when The Mysterious Affair at Styles, featuring Hercule Poirot, was published in 1920. During the Second World War she worked as a pharmacy assistant at University College Hospital, London, during the Blitz and acquired a good knowledge of poisons which featured in many of her subsequent novels. Guinness World Records lists Christie as the best-selling novelist of all time. Her novels have sold roughly 2 billion copies, and her estate claims that her works come third in the rankings of the world's most-widely published books, behind only Shakespeare's works and the Bible. According to Index Translationum, she remains the most-translated individual author â" having been translated into at least 103 languages. And Then There Were None is Christie's best-selling novel, with 100 million sales to date, making it the world's best-selling mystery ever, and one of the best-selling books of all time.

First edition of Christie's masterful murder mystery; one of her personal favorites. Octavo, original boards. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, "To John Agatha Christie Sept 1970." Fine in a near fine price-clipped dust jacket. Jacket design by Kenneth Farnhill. Housed in a custom clamshell box by the Harcourt Bindery. Rare and desirable signed and inscribed. One of Christie's favorites among her works, Endless Night was first published in the U.K. by the Collins Crime Club on October 30, 1967 and in the U.S. by Dodd, Mead and Company the following year. The work received some of the warmest critical reviews of Christies career upon publication. "The old maestrina of the crime-novel (or whatever is the female of 'maestro') pulls yet another out of her inexhaustible bag with Endless Night, quite different in tone from her usual work. It is impossible to say much about the story without giving away vital secrets: sufficient to warn the reader that if he should think this is a romance he couldn't be more mistaken, and the crashing, not to say horrific suspense at the end is perhaps the most devastating that this surpriseful author has ever brought off" (Francis Iles, The Guardian).

On three pages, dated 20th May [1971], "from Dame Agatha Christie" in hand on top: "Dear Mr Jeffries | I have wanted to| wite to you for some time | because of the enormous | pleasure that the film of | The Railway Children gave | me It was my | favourite book as a child | & up to the age of 24 at | least I still used to occasionaly | to read it | I dreaded going to see | the film because nearly | always films of ones | favourite books are a | disastous disappointment | But this was so perfectly | produced & acted | I gather you are the | person I thank for the | great pleasure it gave me | Except for the Witness | for the Prosecution which | was good, all the films | that have been made from my | stories & books I have | hated! | Thank you again I | hope this reaches you, but | I am a little uncertain | about the address | Yours sincerely | Agatha Christie Mallowan" A scarce and beautiful letter with superb content in which Christie reveals that she hated all of the film and TV- adaptations of her work bar Witness for the Prosecution (1957 starring Marlene Dietrich in the Billy Wilder film). The Hound of Death (1933) is a short-story collection which contains the story Witness for the Prosecution which has been adapted several times for the TV and cinema including the above-mentioned version. Lionel Jeffries (1926-2010) was an actor and film director. His adaptation of Railway Children, based on the famous E. Nesbit novel (1906) was released in December 1970, so Christie's letter was most likely written in 1971. Condition of the book: a very good copy in like dust jacket.

In the letter to John Higgins, Christie counts that by then she had published 81 books, the same number as her age. She further says that she know nothing about the exact number of sales, but notes that they increase every year. She signs as Agatha Mallowan. John Dalby Higgins (1934-1999) was a journalist and Arts Editor for The Times (1970-1988). In 1972 he asked Christie whether she would be willing to serve a judge for a Times short story competition to which Christie agreed. Higgins needed from Christie some background information to introduce her to the readership. Hence, this letter. In fine condition with two paperclip indentations to the top left corner as shown.
