About This Book

‘Nowadays, the Mystery goes everywhere.'

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 Christmastime story and a portrait of her leading man, Albert Campion, to classic capers and the traditional British mystery, 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.
