THE MYSTERIOUS AGATHA CHRISTIE 📚 Tuesday, Jun

THE MYSTERIOUS AGATHA CHRISTIE 📚

Tuesday, June 27 - 9.45am-11.15am

Outsold only by the Bible and Shakespeare, Agatha Christie is one of the world’s best-selling novelists, famous for her Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple detective stories.

But what do we know about Christie herself? Award-winning biographer Laura Thompson, author of Agatha Christie: A Mysterious Life, shines a light on Christie’s upbringing, influences and her own mysterious disappearance.

As part of our Literary Festival 📚 - enjoy tea, coffee and pastries in The Drawing Room of Brown’s, a hotel where Christie was a regular visitor and was said to have inspired her novel, At Bertram’s Hotel. @browns_hotel

Tickets are £25 and can be booked here: eventbrite.com/the-mysterious-agatha-christie

In the latest issue of @mayfair.times - @raymondblanc shares his favourite castaway reads; we look at how some of Mayfair’s luxury brands such as @stephenwebsterjewellery are championing sustainability; are immersive art installations radically altering the gallery model or just putting on a damn good show? ESG: an ethical principle, financial obligation or both; the local architects who are retrofitting older properties and designing climate-conscious buildings at home and abroad; @londoncraftweek and the Mayfair Design District; the lowdown on running and selling a business; and in travel: a trip to the Galapagos Islands, and, closer to home, the Cotswolds hotel where you can curate your own experience, and the place to go in Somerset for some serious R&R. And good news – our literary festival is back next month (June 22-July 5). See here for listings so far (more TBC):
