From ancient epics to modern bestsellers, great stories have always found ways to cross language barriers. One author's works have traveled farther than all others, reaching readers in more languages than any writer in history. Which storyteller holds this global translation record?
▼
Correct Answer: Agatha Christie
Agatha Christie's murderous imagination has reached more than 100 languages, with her whodunits selling over 2 billion copies worldwide. She started writing mysteries because her sister bet she couldn't craft one without giving away the killer, and now her body count ranks behind only the Bible and Shakespeare in global book sales. Turns out readers in every language love a good murder mystery party with a proper British accent.
