Authoritative biography of much loved and well-remembered 'Golden Age' crime writer. Margery Allingham (1904-1966) was one ot the UK 'Queens of Crime' together with Agatha Christie, Dorothy L Sayers and Ngaio Marsh. She was extremely popular in the US as well as the UK and her novels were translated into several European languages. She died in 1966 and there were two continuation novels immediately after her death, featuring her detective Albert Campion and a further three have recently been published testifying (we think) to a renaissance in her popularity. This biography is a revised and updated edition of Margery Allingham: a Biography published by Heinemann in 1991 under the name Julia Thorogood. It was written with full cooperation of the author's sister and the new edition includes significant new material. Reviews of both editions have been excellent. Julia Jones has talked about The Adventurres of Margery Allingham at the Bouchercon 2009 and Crimefest 2014 as well as other, less specialist festivals.
