Unfortunately, her parents could not afford to pay school fees for both Agatha and her sister so they decided that Agatha should receive a home education. Her parents, therefore, were responsible for teaching her how to write, play piano, and read. She defied the odds and started to read well much earlier than many had anticipated. She was a voracious reader at her early ages and mostly read children books.
