 A retrospective 100 years after the crime writers birth
A contemporary of Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers, Margery Allingham is revered as one of the leading authors from the Golden Age of British crime writing. She sold her first story at the age of thirteen and went on to write book reviews, short stories, novels and essays until her death at 62 in 1966.听
Now, one hundred years after her birth, Margery Allingham is perhaps best remembered for creating the gentleman detective, Albert Campion.听 She let him grow from a 鈥渟illy鈥 young man of the twenties in her early novels, into an eminent and respected detective forty years later.
Jenni discusses the life and work of Margery Allingham with Barry Pike, Chairman of the Margery Allingham Society and Margaret Kinsman, a senior lecturer from London鈥檚 South Bank University.
