Agatha Christie was the author of 78 mystery novels and 19 plays. Ever since her first novel “The Mysterious Affairs at Styles” published in 1930, her books never were out of print. They translated all over the world and perhaps surprisingly her sales actually increased since she died in 1976. By 1990 two immensely successful films “Death on the Nile” and “Murder on the Orient Express” made, the television series of which followed them a year later.
People enjoed) Agatha Christie’s story telling for many years and now her popularity seemed higher than it used to be. It was not of course the first time, that the author became more popular in death than in life.

Once, as a child, I went with my family to the forest with tents. When it was a night time, my brother started to tell me horror stories about forest mystical creatures who kidnap children in the night, I did not believe in these things but still, I was feeling uncofortable. Night time came, me and my brother fell asleep. But suddenly some strange noises woke us up, we were scared. I took the flashlight, leaned out of the tent and began to shine around, suddenly I saw a flashing eyes and teeth in the dark, I wanted to scream but I was afraid to draw attention of other creatures. I returned to the tent and told everything to my brother, we were shocked and didn't not know what to do. Tent of our parents was far from our tent. All night we stayed in fear. It was a morning time when our food was gone and we decided to tell her parents what happened at the night. They were surprised and went to check food stocks that we left. We found a bag of potatoes in which someone was in it. My father gently took a stick and he opened the bag.There was a raccoon in the bag. It turns out that, those creatures of the night were simply a family of raccoons.
