Display case containing works by Agatha Christie, Evelyn Waugh, Samuel Taylor Coleridge & R.D. Blackmore
Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
Coleridge was born in Ottery St Mary, and made many visits there during his summer vacations. It’s known that he also visited Lynton, and the Valley of the Rocks, on a walking trip across northern Exmoor with the Wordsworths.
Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
Waugh started his professional career as a teacher, but with the positive reaction to his first publication “Rossetti: his Life and Works”, he was encouraged to finish his novel “Decline and Fall”. He then proceeded to write two further novels, three travel books and a host of newspaper articles before the war. With the onset on war, he joined the army, during which time he wrote “Put out more Flags”. He later wrote a series of war novels including “Officers and Gentlemen”.
After breaking his leg, Waugh secured unpaid leave and travelled to Devon, where he stayed at Easton Court Hotel in Chagford. Here he wrote the widely acclaimed “Brideshead Revisited” in1944. In a very lucrative deal it was chosen by the Book Club of the Month, and the increased publicity led to it becoming his first American best seller. The televisation of “Brideshead Revisited” was extremely well received, and has ensured the novel’s ongoing popularity.

Agatha Christie (1890–1976)
Agatha Christie was born and grew up in Torquay. One of the family’s neighbours was the author Eden Philpotts. Christie was one of the most prolific writers of the crime genre, and her books have been translated into over 100 languages. She also wrote short stories and plays including “The Mouse Trap”, the longest continuously running play and “Black Coffee”. Her works have been made into many popular films and television programmes, such as the Poirot and Miss Marple series.
Agatha Christie’s adult home was Greenway House on the banks of the River Dart, now owned by the National Trust. Tourists now flock to see her home, and visit Torbay. She used many locations in Devon in her writing, including Broadsands in “The ABC Murders”, and the Imperial Hotel, Torquay in “The Peril at End House”. ”Evil Under the Sun” was set on Burgh Island, and featured local places and objects, which appear in both the book and the television version.
