From the Daily Mail:

Agatha Christie, the Queen of Crime, was fiercely protective of her privacy, but now a new exhibition of unseen photographs reveals an unexpected carefree side to the world’s best-selling novelist.

Agatha Christie rarely gave interviews and certainly never went on a book-signing tour. Now a new exhibition of unseen photographs reveals an unexpected carefree side to the world’s best-selling novelist. She was a surfer, a roller-skater and round-the-world traveller, as well as a car enthusiast and dog lover.
