About Margery Allingham

Margery Allingham (1904-1966) was an English novelist. She is considered one of the four Queens of Crime, alongside Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers and Ngaio Marsh. Allingham is best remembered for her gentleman sleuth, Albert Campion, with 18 novels and many short stories. Allingham referred to her earliest Campion novels as mysteries written in the "plum pudding" method. As the series progressed, however, Campion becomes part-detective, part-adventurer as he works more closely with MI6 counter-intelligence. In 1941 Allingham published a non-fiction work, The Oaken Heart. It describes her experiences in Essex during the second world war.
