The Return of Mr. Campion is a series of short stories with the Margery Allingham style. She was one of the best writers of her day and many Author's have listed her as a favorite. Not all of the stories contain Albert Campion and in fact they are a mixed bag but I enjoyed each and every one. The insight into her writing life is especially interesting and with short stories you can go at your own pace.
I recommend this and really enjoyed reading it. Readers of the Golden Era of writing should take note of these.
Blurb:
In this fantastic collection of thirteen short stories, Margery Allingham
explores both the Mystery and the other genres it has allowed her to
write.
From a portrait of her leading man to classic capers, and
from traditional British mysteries to wonderful literary short stories,
Allingham displays her wit, her humour, and her prowess not just as a
Mystery writer but as a storyteller.
Published thirty years after it’s first publication, The Return of Mr Campion proves that both The Mystery and Allingham, are still everywhere.
