		Nowhere is this more obvious than in her choice of hero - Albert Campion, younger son of a noble family who takes on the profession - a vocation he calls it - of being a general purpose sleuth and adventurer.
		Campion deals with a strange problem bridging the old world of class distinctions and families who 'do the right thing' and a flagship block of council flats at the location of a once terrible slum.
		Not the greatest of Campions, as the great man takes something of a back seat, and most of the time the reader feels the urge to give the young hero a clip round the ear, but as always with Allingham the surprise revelations are a delight.

		Campion at Black Dudley, Suffolk in 1929 as, after all, Abbershaw was supposed to be the hero of the story.
		Yet even though Albert Campion may have started life as a gentle prod at Lord Peter, Margery Allingham realised very quickly that she had created an extremely versatile character, one who eventually dominated her writing career and engaged several generations of readers.
		The truth is probably that Campion started as an archetype of the young, smart, "gay set" which enjoyed country house weekends, large fast open-top cars, and "getting into scrapes." He developed into a rounded and sympathetic character despite, rather than because of, the advantages of his birth.

	The Margery Allingham Archive - Biography
		Her early novels and stories, including Blackkerchief Dick, The White Cottage Mystery and the recently discovered stories collected in The Darings of Red Rose, were strongly influenced by her earliest attempts at fiction, and have a somewhat cinematic flavour.
		Allingham's work has been perennially popular in the United Kingdom and America, and this popularity was given a boost in 1988 with the adaptation of four of her novels (see elsewhere) for British television, starring Peter Davison in a sublime performance as Albert Campion.
		With Campion's birth set squarely in 1900 (15 May), and the ageing of characters in Allingham's novels more or less exactly following chronology with the real world, it was always a simple matter to determine Campion's age.
