Brief Biography ALLINGHAM, Margery (Louise). British. Born in London, 20 May 1904; daughter of the writer H.J. Allingham. Educated at Perse High School for Girls. Cambridge; Polytechnic of Speech Training. Married the artist and editor Philip Youngman Carter in 1927. Died 30 June 1966.

Series Characters Albert Campion When he first came on the scene, Albert Campion was described as "... a lunatic . . . quite inoffensive ... just a silly ass." At that time, he was a con-man who bragged that he lived by his wits and would do anything for money provided it wasn't vulgar or sordid, using such aliases as "Mornington Dodd" and "Tootles Ash." Perhaps the foolish expression in his eyes and the idiotic, high-pitched voice which he affected were merely attempts at disguise. It is likely that Campion really meant to be a serious detective all along. He was, after all, Cambridge-educated. By the mid-1930's, Albert Campion no longer pursued a life of crime and was then described as mild-mannered, bespectacled and scholarly. At that time, he lived with his valet, ex-burglar Magersfontein Lugg, in a private flat above a police station off Piccadilly Lane. From this convenient location he functioned as Scotland Yard's expert on society matters and proved to be of great assistance to official detectives Stanislaus Gates and Charlie Luke. As Campion grew older (he was born in 1900) he continued to grow more serious and responsible. He fell in love with, and married, airplane designer Amanda Fitton. As his hair whitened, more and more people came to him for advice and he was often described as a kind of "universal uncle." During World War II and afterwards, his investigative talents were used by the British Government in espionage work.
