	The Margery Allingham Archive - Biography
		Margery Louise Allingham was born in 1904, into a family where writing was a necessary part of life, and she began her career by adapting the stories of films for cinematic fan magazines.
		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.
		The novels of Margery Allingham have been roundly praised on several scores: for the development and endurance of her characters, the ingenuity of her plots, and the sheer impudence of the names she chose for protagonists and bit players alike.

	Margery Allingham's Life
		Margery Allingham is pre-eminent among the writers who brought the detective story to maturity in the decades between the two world wars.
		The Allinghams retained a house on Mersea Island, a few miles from Layer Breton, and here Margery Allingham found the material for her first novel, the adventure story Blackkerchief Dick (1923) which was published when she was nineteen.
		Allingham felt the need to comment on his role and to justify his failure to age over the years, as most of her characters do.

		Margery Allingham was born on May 20, 1904, in Ealing, a London suburb.
		This taught Margery a great deal not only about writing but about the business of it, for he never parted with a copyright and sold many of his stories six or seven times over, though he was never published in book form.
		Margery at her father's bidding wrote a long, unpublishable novel of student life, and I had graduated from art student to struggling commercial artist.

	The Bailey School
		Allingham apparently got into the satire business first, according to the dates of these tales, although G.K.Chesterton's "The White Pillar Murders" (1925) and Arnold Bennett's "Murder!" (1926) are even earlier "logical takeoffs" on the genre.
		(Allingham included a character called Superintendent Yeo in her "Tall Story".) Allingham's satires, like those of the other authors mentioned here, are targeted at the formal detective story, whereas Sayers' tales are takeoffs on the conventions of thriller fiction.
		Among Allingham's puzzle plot stories, "The Hat Trick" (1938) and "The Case of the Old Man in the Window" (1936) shows a similar plot complexity to her "logical" tales, and are especially appealing.

	Margery Allingham: The White Cottage Mystery (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Margery Allingham's first novel, written as a newspaper serial and edited into a continuous narrative by her sister, comes before she had conceived of the character of Albert Campion.
		In effect, the little girl is as blameless as the gun itself; she is a weapon used by the nurse.
		Being used unwittingly to commit this sort of crime is of course a form of child abuse, and Allingham is also modern enough to realise the effect this could have on a child.

		I am also adding content as time allows to the various individual novel pages - a slow, labour intensive process, but one which will eventually be of real use to readers everywhere (or at least that's what the description says on the packet).
		Additionally, there is more information to be had regarding the BBC adaptations of Margery Allingham's novels in 'Campion': release of Series 1 Part 2 in Britain, and, newly, DVD and VHS releases scheduled for the United States (use the 'Campion' link for more information).
		Also included is all of the information that I have been able to dig up regarding Margery Allingham's alter-ego of the 1930s, Maxwell March.

		Margery Allingham is one of the grand dames of British mystery fiction, usual ranked with Sayers, Marsh and Christie.
		In her early work Allingham has a bright and distinctive approach to the problems and pleasures of the young men and women of post-war Britain.
		Written in 1928 when Allingham was 23 (and just recently married) the book is quite a bit different from later volumes.

		I've put the dates after the title, partly because it gives the sequence of stories and also because Allingham still reads so well that it's easy to forget how long ago some Campion books were written.
		The very last Campion, finished off by Margery Allingham's husband after her death.
		This tale of dark doings in a country house when a fiendish master criminal (a foreigner, of course) attempts to recover his missing plans for a crime is not one of Allingham's best, but it rattles along with energy.

		Margery Allingham wrote a large number of mysteries, many featuring Albert Campion, a 'Universal Uncle and Deputy Adventurer' as he grandiloquently terms himself.
		He is the younger son of a family so highly placed that he had to pick a new name when he took up the sordid trade of private investigator.
		Allingham's mysteries are noteworthy for the many and varied eccentrics who crowd her pages; if we do not quite believe in them, she makes us wish we did.

		Allingham was certainly the most versatile, and probably the most gifted, of all the classic British mystery writers.
		Allingham's death in the early 60s, Campion was in his 60s, and fading a bit.

		With the publication of The Darings of the Red Rose, all of Margery Allingham's crime fiction achieves book publication...
		These are clever, pleasant, light tales, very much a product of time and place, with glimpses of the strengths Allingham would later develop and display in her Albert Campion stories.

		This is the seventeenth mystery featuring the unassuming detective that is narrated by Francis Matthews.
		He excels with eccentric country gentlemen, society ladies, ingenues or a hapless vicar and revels in the outrageous characters Allingham conjured up.

		With "Flowers for the Judge" Margery Allingham signals the change in her writing style which was first hinted at in "Police at the Funeral." Campion has matured a bit and changed from a hapless zany to someone just a bit more like a friend of the family.
		In keeping with this, the stories themselves are shifting away from adventure tales and becoming more typical of detective stories.
		While Allingham is rarely very good at keeping secrets, there really are mysteries and inexplicable clues to puzzle out.
