PREFACE
Agatha Christie began to write this book in April 1950; she finished it some fifteen years later when she was 75 years old. Any book written over so long a period must contain certain repetitions and inconsistencies and these have been tidied up. Nothing of importance has been omitted, however : substantially, this is the autobiography as she would have wished it to appear.
She ended it when she was 75 becaiise, as she put it, 'it seems the right moment to stop. Because, as far as life is concerned, that is all there is to say.' The last ten years of her life saw some notable triimiphs - the film of Murder on the Orient Express-, the continued phenomenal run of The Mousetrap-, sales of her books throughout the world growing massively year by year and in the United States taking the position at the top of the best-seller charts which had for long been hers as of right in Britain and the Commonwealth; her appointment in 1971 as a Dame of the British Empire. Yet these are no more than extra laurels for achievements that in her own mind were already behind her. In 1965 she could truthfully write 1 am satisfied. I have done what I want to do.'
Though this is an autobiography, beginning, as autobiographies should, at the beginning and going on to the time she finished writing, Agatha Christie has not allowed herself to be too rigidly circumscribed by the strait-jacket of chronology. Part of the delight of this book lies in the way in which she moves as her fancy takes her; breaking off here to muse on the incomprehensible habits of housemaids or the compensations of old age; jumping forward there because some trait in her childlike character reminds her vividly of her grandson. Nor does she feel any obligation to put everything in. A few episodes which to some might seem important - the celebrated disappearance, for example - are not mentioned, though in that particular case the references dsewhere to an eariier attack of amnesia give the clue to the true course of events. As to the rest, 'I have remembered, I suppose, what I wanted to remember', and though she describes her parting from her first husband with moving dignity, what she usually wants to

Agatha Christie (1890‒1976) angol írónő, „a krimi koronázatlan királynője”, akinek a nevét az egész világ ismeri. Több mint száz regényt, elbeszélést, színdarabot és rádiójátékot írt. Könyveit milliárdos példányszámban olvassák a világ összes nyelvén, ezzel ő a világirodalom legolvasottabb szerzője, William Shakespeare mellett. Színpadi darabja, a The Mousetrap (Egérfogó) tartja az első előadást követően leghosszabb időn át játszott előadás rekordját, elsőként 1952-ben mutatták be az Ambassadors Theatre-ben Londonban, és még ma is játsszák. Mary Westmacott álnéven romantikus-lélektani regényeket is írt, melyek igazi irodalmi csemegének számítanak.
