And Then There Were None is a mystery novel by Agatha Christie, first published in the United Kingdom by Collins Crime Club on 6 November 1939. The plot is structured around a children's counting rhyme and minstrel song, which serves as a major element of the narrative. The title used for successive American editions derives from the last five words of that song, while the UK editions underwent several title changes before settling on the current definitive title with a 1985 reprint.
