THE CLASSIC STUDY OF MR. CAMPION
CAMPION'S CAREER received an Edgar nomination for Best Critical/Biographical book. It studies Allingham as a detective-story writer -- one of the greats of the Golden Age -- by a careful analysis of each book, and it is filled with insights. The book is written by one of the finest critics (and stylists) in the genre.

Freshman Study
The author of this book gives us little more than a synopsis of the plots of the Marjorie Allingham books featuring Albert Campion. There are few, if any, insights into the development of the character. To anyone who has read most or all of the Campion canon I would say, don't waste your money. To those who are interested in Allingham and Campion I would say, read the originals. In summation: a waste of the reader's time and money.
