Inspirational Quotes by Margery Allingham (British Author)

Margery Allingham (1904–66,) fully Margery Louise Allingham, was an English detective storywriter. She was celebrated for her unusual subtlety, wit, and imaginative power. She created the bland, bespectacled, keen-witted Albert Campion, one of the fascinating fictional detectives.

Born in London, Allingham wrote a string of elegant and witty popular thrillers, including The Crime at Black Dudley (1928,) Police at the Funeral (1931,) Flowers for the Judge (1936,) More Work for the Undertaker (1949,) The Tiger in the Smoke (1952,) The China Governess (1963) and The Mind Readers (1965.)

Allingham left Cargo of Eagles (1968) unfinished; her husband, Philip Youngman Carter, completed it.
