Born on this day: Agatha Christie, master of sleight-of-hand plots, deceptive appearances and author of over 60 detective novels, and the longest-running play ever!

Did you know she also enjoyed surfing? (image 2) She learnt in the 1920s and honed her skills across the world, including Waikiki in Honolulu. She may also have been the first European to surfboard standing up.

Happy Birthday, Agatha !
