Did Agatha Christie write about the batman? She did!
Also about Hoppoton, but you won't find it on a map.

So many terms in Agatha Christie novels are rarely used now...

People and places, well-known in her day, are barely-known to modern readers.

And the slang turns of phrase are even more unfathomable. “Beard a lion in his den?” "Chew a bun?"

Guessing the killer is hard enough without adding obtuse references to the mystery.

Clearly, we need a glossary!

Katharine Kendzy "Kate" Gingold

Kate Gingold, author of Agatha Annotated ... 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 words were unfamiliar to her.

A writer herself, as well as a researcher and historian with several books of local history to her credit, Kate began a list of these strange words and set out to define them.

Now, Christie fans of today and tomorrow can fully enjoy each story with their own glossary ...
