[ecrea] New Book - Agatha Christie on Screen

Some of you may be interested in my new book, /Agatha Christie on 
Screen/, published by Palgrave Macmillan. It’s due out in paperback and 
hardback on 25 November (or thereabouts) but is already available for 
the Kindle. Promo info below:

/Agatha Christie on Screen/ is a comprehensive exploration of 90 years 
of film and television adaptations of the world’s best-selling 
novelist’s work. Drawing on extensive archival material, it offers new 
information regarding both the well-known and forgotten screen 
adaptations of Agatha Christie’s stories, including unmade and rare 
adaptations, some of which have been unseen for more than half a 
century. This history offers intriguing insights into the discussions 
and debates that surrounded many of these screen projects – something 
that is brought to life through previously unpublished correspondence 
from Christie herself and a new wide-ranging interview with her 
grandson, Mathew Prichard. /Agatha Christie on Screen/ takes the reader 
on a journey from little known silent film adaptations, through to 
famous screen productions including 1974’s /Murder on the Orient 
Express/, as well as the television series of the Poirot and Miss Marple 
stories and, most recently, the BBC’s acclaimed version of /And Then 
There Were None/.

“Mark Aldridge's book uncovers many hitherto unknown facts about screen 
adaptations of Agatha Christie. It is an important addition to Christie 
scholarship and required reading for all admirers of the Queen of 
Crime.” (Dr. John Curran, author of Agatha Christie's Secret Notebooks)

“The book is a mine of information. As well as a fascinating insight 
into the history of Agatha Christie adaptations, the book also throws 
much light on the whole area adaptation and its participants on every 
side of the fence.” (Mathew Prichard, grandson of Agatha Christie)
