Author Fair at Berwyn Public Library

Author Fair at Berwyn Public Library

This event at the Berwyn Public Library on September 9 will be a new experience for me, but I'm up for it!

I believe this is the second annual Berwyn Local Author Fair and it's unique in that it will be held outdoors. Last year, they enjoyed lovely weather and I'm hoping for the same this time. At the recent Elmhurst Author Fair, I met a fellow author who took part in the first Berwyn event and he had nothing but nice things to say about it. 

The Local Author Fair will be held at the Berwyn Public Library at 2701 Harlem Avenue in, naturally, Berwyn. The Fair runs from 11:00a until 3:00p on Saturday, September 9. Table will be set up all around the outside of the library, so you can stroll around on a (with luck!) pleasant afternoon and check out all the different offerings. There will also be a craft exchange program going on at the same time. I'm not exactly sure what that is, but it sound kind of interesting!

I hope folks from Berwyn, Oak Park, Cicero, and the surrounding areas will come out to see us at this Local Author Fair on September 9. I'll keep an eye out for you!

What is Agatha Annotated?

This website is the home of the Agatha Christie database as annotated by Kate Gingold, hence the name Agatha Annotated.

It's a rich glossary of

  • nearly 1900 terms
  • over 200 illustrations
  • 347 French phrases

Kate found them while reading Agatha Christie novels, and wrote them, along with definitions curated from years of research, into this database.

Currently the first 11 Christie books, those she wrote in the 1920s, are annotated here. 

Anybody can be a member and gain access to this rich glossary. Visit the Community page to learn the details.

We took the 1920s terms and published a book, Agatha Annotated: Investigating the Books of the 1920s, now available on Amazon in Paperback or Kindle format.

Kate will be adding to the database and members get the new terms and definitions first before the second volume is printed, plus members can comment and ask questions about the terms and Kate and other members can reply.

We hope you enjoy. Click around the pages to learn more.

Kate Gingold

... has been a huge fan of the works of Agatha Christie her entire adult life. Christie's vivid descriptions of picturesque English life in the early-to-mid twentieth century fascinated Kate, but many of the people and places were unfamiliar to her. A writer herself, as well as a researcher and historian with several local history books to her credit, Kate began a list of these strange words and set out to define them. Now, Christie fans like you and all those who come after will be able to fully enjoy the richness of Agatha Christie novels with their own copy of Agatha Annotated.
