The Cow Slip
04/1901 AD wrote
Aged 10, she writes her first poem, The Cow Slip.
By this time, her father's health had deteriorated, and he died in November of that year: Christie later said that her father's death when she was 11 marked the end of her childhood.
Christie was a voracious reader from an early age. Among her earliest memories were reading children's books by Mrs Molesworth and Edith Nesbit. When a little older, she moved on to the surreal verse of Edward Lear and Lewis Carroll.
As an adolescent, she enjoyed works by Anthony Hope, Walter Scott, Charles Dickens, and Alexandre Dumas.
