In 1922, a young Agatha Christie, still at the dawn of her literary career, received an
incredible opportunity. Britain was preparing for a grand festival - the British Empire
Exhibition - to be held in Wembley in 1924. But such an ambitious event needed planning,
and Agatha and her husband, Archie, were asked to help. Would they like to travel to
different parts of the Empire to assist in its preparation? Naturally, their answer was a
resounding yes.
Nearly a century later, the legendary Sir David Suchet and his wife Sheila were invited to
retrace Agatha's remarkable journey. In Travels with Agatha Christie, Suchet - renowned

landscapes of South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii and C anada. With his

enduring legacy of the British Empire but also uncovers the profound impact these travels
had on a young Agatha C hristie, shaping her future as the Queen of C rime.
