Whatever
one thinks of Christie, there must be something for all
her
books to continually be in print. There must be quite a
few authors
who wish they had whatever she had. Perhaps its the
lack of graphic
sex, violence and language that make us here like her
so much.

I was thinking about this while reading one of Earle Stanley
Gardner's books. Why is Christie constantly in print while,
say, Gardner's Perry Mason books, which I am sure would
appeal to the same reader base, are not? I suspect that there
are people managing Christie's estate while this is probably
not true of Gardners ( or some other authors of a similar
ilk) There have been recent Christie TV productions in the UK
(and a series of comic books that I know of) all of which
keeps Christie's work in the public eye. I don't believe it's
the quality of the work.Why not a new and updated Perry Mason
TV series? Not that I'm exactly hanging out for it, I speak
rhetorically.
