How we source these
Public holidays are taken from official government sources for each country and cover national holidays only. The United States, Canada and Australia all have significant state and provincial holidays that are not shown, and India’s system of state, optional and restricted holidays means only three days are observed nationwide. Where a government has not yet published a year, we say so rather than guess. Always check the official source for the country concerned rather than relying on this alone.
January 12th through history
The queen of crime lays down her pen
Agatha Christie died on January 12th 1976 at Winterbrook House in Oxfordshire, aged eighty-five. She had published sixty-six detective novels and had, by then, been outsold in the English language only by Shakespeare and the Bible — a statistic that has survived surprisingly well. Her play The Mousetrap had by that point been running in the West End for twenty-three years, and has managed another fifty since.
Television supplied something lighter. On January 12th 1966 Batman premiered on American television, with Adam West in the cowl and an approach to camp that has aged into something close to genius. It reached British screens later that year and taught a generation of children the word ‘Kapow’.
Led Zeppelin’s first album reached American shops on January 12th 1969, nearly three months ahead of the British release. Jimmy Page had paid for the recording himself, in some thirty-six hours of studio time, so that no record company could have an opinion about the result; Atlantic had signed the band without ever seeing them play. The reviews were poor and the record sold anyway.
John Singer Sargent, the American painter who made his name in London and defined how the late Victorians wished to be seen, was born on January 12th 1856.
Born on January 12th: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
Jack London and Haruki Murakami — both named above — share this star sign with everyone else born in the same window.
Star sign
Capricorn — an Earth sign ruled by Saturn, symbolised by the Sea-Goat.
Birthstone
Garnet for January.
Birth flower
Carnation (primary), also Snowdrop — most commonly cited sources agree on carnation as the main January flower.
None of this is settled fact in the way the history above is — zodiac dates, birthstones and birth flowers are conventions rather than laws, and different sources hedge them slightly differently. The birthstone is the most standardised of the three (set by the trade in 1912 and revised since); the birth flower is the least, resting on Victorian tradition rather than any governing body.
