In fact, over 40 years after her death, the Queen of Crime continues to sell 3-4m copies each year around the world, and new adaptations of her works are scheduled to appear on both the small and the silver screen. Stephen King (300m) and Dan Brown (200m) are also small fry compared to the extraordinary career of Agatha Christie, whose novels, featuring characters like Hercule Poirot and Miss Jane Marple, are estimated to have sold up to 4bn copies. Neither is it the late Barbara Cartland, the prolific writer of romantic fiction who is estimated to have sold between 500m and 1bn copies. Who do you think is the bestselling novelist of all time? It's not JK Rowling, whose sales are thought to be at the 450-500m mark.
