Oh those Yardbirds!

As loyal reader Amilee B. (Brooklyn, NY) and I were discussing earlier, the name of one of Agatha Christie's novels was And Then There Were None, not Ten Little Indians (and certainly not 13 Little Indians as I originally thought...). Agatha Christie, who is the best selling novelist of all time with over 2.0 billion books sold, did, however, base the book on the rhyme.

The Yardbirds, WikiKarmel's favorite Jimmy Page/Eric Clapton collaboration, wrote a song based on the rhyme, though each of the Indians' deaths were more 'dismal', whatever that means....

WikiKarmel bonus trivia!:

Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code is the best selling novel of all time with 60.5 million copies sold. I personally did not like the Da Vinci Code. Comments?
