We love the fact Agatha Christie was inspired by her travel adventures, by her work on poisons in the pharmacy, and by her experience of archaeological digs.

Autobiography about myself

However, there are also plenty of the author’s reflections which show that she was inspired by the everyday – which we thought might add a lift to those whose daily routines are quite restricted right now. In fact, she thought the monotony of the pharmacy work inspired her to progress with her first novel (although the expertise she obtained no doubt helped her with the finer details).

We take a look at how Christie’s everyday life provided her with the creativity we know and love…

As Christie’s siblings were away at boarding school, and Agatha was home-schooled, she was the only child in the house most of the time, but she reflects fondly in her autobiography that she was not truly alone: “From as early as I can remember, I had various companions of my own choosing.”
