«And Then There Were None»
By Agatha Christie
Ten little Indian Boys went out to dine;
One choked his little self and then there were nine.
Nine little Indian Boys sat up very late;
One overslept himself and then there were eight.
Eight little Indian Boys travelling in Devon;
One said he'd stay there and then there were seven.
Seven little Indian Boys chopping up sticks;
One chopped himself in halves and then there were six.
Six little Indian Boys playing with a hive;
A bumblebee stung one and then there were five.
Five little Indian Boys going in for law;
One got in Chancery and then there were four.
Four little Indian Boys going out to sea;
A red herring swallowed one and then there were three.
Three little Indian Boys walking in the zoo;
A big bear hugged one and then there were two.
Two little Indian Boys sitting in the sun;
One got frizzled up and then there was one.
One little Indian Boy left all alone;
He went out and hanged himself and then there were none
Agatha Christie
was an English crime novelist, short
story writer, poet, and playwright. She
is best known for her 66 detective
novels and 14 short story collections,
which she wrote under her own name
and six novels under the name "Mary
Westmacott. Agatha Christie has
worked in such genres as murder
mystery, thriller, crime fiction,
detective, and novel. Her book Ten Little
Negroes ("And Then There Were None")
was voted "Christie's Favorite Book in
the World."
This literary work was not released
until the title was changed to the
last five words in the original
American version of the nursery
rhyme: «And Then There Were
None». It was both adapted and
reprinted as «Ten Little Indians».
This is Agatha Christie's mystery novel,
considered by many to be her masterpiece and
which she herself called the most difficult of her
books. The story unfolds when, on a hot day in
late August, eight people arrive on Soldier
Island, a small isolated island off the Devon
coast of England.
