Some edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, corners slightly bruised, slight lean, some slight very faint creases to front jacket, not price clipped (£19.99), no personal inscriptions, internally clean and tight, overall a vg copy for ex library. 278pp. Strange things happen in the picture-postcard English village of Lindsay Carfax. When a young man falls into a quarry, it takes nine days to find the body. When rowdy hippies descend on the village, they?re given nine days to leave. When an outspoken schoolmaster is kidnapped for nine days, he stays eerily quiet after his release. Now Albert Campion has come to town, meaning to investigate all this strangeness. But whoever is behind the unusual goings on quickly makes it very clear that his nosing around is not welcome. Undeterred by threats, Campion is determined to expose the criminal masterminds hiding in this sleepy village. When Allinham's husband Philip Youngman Carter died in 1969, he left the Allingham archive to the Margery Allingham Society, crime writer Mike Ripley offered to complete the unfinished manuscript of 'Mr Campion's Farewell'. Quite a scarce book.

Some edge wear, chipping, short closed tears and creasing to top and bottom of largely white jacket and spine, creased tear repaired with strip of white paper to bottom back jacket, corners rubbed and bruised with small loss, some slight yellowing and spotting to white parts of jacket. Price clipped, no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg copy for its age. 233pp. Philip Youngman Carter collaborated with his wife, the late Margery Allingham (1904-66), in many of her books over a period of forty years. 'Mr. Campion's Farthing' based on an idea originated by her, is the first novel to be written by him. Inglewood Turrets is a bizarre treasure of Victorian gothic art, standing in extensive grounds some twenty miles from London. Its chatelaine is Miss Charlotte Cambric, a determined lady who, with a nice blend of charm, improvisation and bluff, contrives to keep it solvent as an unusual kind of country club. Her guests are mostly solemn groups of foreigners who come eagerly to imbibe the High Victorian period atmosphere that Miss Cambric so sedulously preserves; her only enemy, she supposes, is a property development tycoon with designs on the estate. But one day she harbours a defecting Russian scientist and finds that she is playing quite out of her league.

Some edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, corners slightly bruised, slight lean, some slight very faint creases to front jacket, not price clipped (no published price), no personal inscriptions, internally clean and tight, overall a vg copy for ex library. 243pp. Margery Allingham's Mr Campion finds himself masquerading as technical advisor to a very suspicious but glamorous Italian film producer and her crew hunting for buried treasure that never was in the Suffolk village of Heronhoe near Pontisbright which used to host trysts between Edward VIII and Mrs Wallis Simpson. When it came to the Abdication Crisis in '36 those dirty weekends in Heronhoe were quickly forgotten, except not by the Prince. The story goes that when he married Mrs Simpson, in 1937 that would be, he actually sent a valuable thank you gift to Heronhoe. That was what became known as the Abdication Treasure although there's no record of anything going to Heronhoe Hall, or of anybody ever receiving anything from the Duke of Windsor and nobody anywhere claims to have actually seen anything resembling treasure. So how is Albert Campion involved? You said the treasure doesn't exist. It doesn't, Lord Breeze said firmly, and I have been instructed to tell you to tell Campion, that unless he wants to risk embarrassing Buckingham Palace, he'd better lay off. There's no such thing as the Abdication Treasure, so there's nothing to find and Campion had better make sure he doesn't find it! When Margery Allingham's husband Philip Youngman Carter died in 1969, he left the Allingham archive to the Margery Allingham Society, crime writer Mike Ripley offered to complete the unfinished manuscript of 'Mr Campion's Farewell'. Quite a scarce book.

He's very concerned about his eighteen year old daughter, who has formed an attachment to a most unsuitable young man. Recruiting his unemployed actor son Rupert, to keep an eye on Frank Tate, the young man in question, Mr Campion notes some decidedly odd behaviour on the part of the up and coming photographer. Before he can act on the matter, however, both the Ambassador's daughter and her beau disappear without trace. Then a body is discovered in a lagoon. With appearances from all of Margery Allingham's regular characters, from Campion's former manservant Lugg, to his wife Lady Amanda Fitton and others, this witty and elegant mystery is sure to delight Allingham's many fans. The dialogue is sharp and witty, the observation keen, and the climax is thrilling and eerily atmospheric. When Margery Allingham's husband Philip Youngman Carter died in 1969, he left the Allingham archive to the Margery Allingham Society, crime writer Mike Ripley offered to complete the unfinished manuscript of 'Mr Campion's Farewell'.

Some edge wear to top and bottom of largely white jacket and spine, corners bruised, some slight yellowing and spotting to white parts of jacket. Price clipped, no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg copy for its age. 201pp. Matthew James Matthew dies of natural causes whilst staying at the upmarket Drover's Arms in the Cotswolds. Max Newgate, the pompous manager of the inn is found dead miles away in a Suffolk river near an archaeological dig. The star geologist of Omega Oils, the brilliant but eccentric Francis Makepeace, could be connected to both, but he has disappeared and seems determined not to be found. L.C. Corkran whose retirement from Her Majesty's security service ?has been greatly exaggerated now consults for the multi national Omega Oils and turns to his old friend Albert Campion (who has always behaved ?like a civilised nonentity? but you wouldn?t play poker with him) for help. A carnival of delightful, and not so delightful, characters become involved in the hunt for the missing geologist. The cool headed, independent Miss Anthea Peregrine, the love struck schoolboy Robert Oncer Smith, the rather dubious antiques dealer Morris Jay, known thug and small time villain Ginger Scott, Appleyard a boorish Suffolk policeman, and the grotesque, repellent and very dangerous Claude Porteous. But why is Makepeace a brilliant and successful man, on the run? Is it because of a failed Omega Oil exploration project in the new African republic of Serendi, or connected to the archaeological excavation of a 4th Century Roman ship? Could the missing Francis Makepeace and the dead Matthew James Matthew somehow be one and the same person? It takes all Campion's guile and charm to get to the bottom of the mystery and ensure that the new, youthful allies he recruits emerge unscathed. Philip Youngman Carter collaborated with his wife, the late Margery Allingham (1904-66), in many of her books over a period of forty years. This is his second book.

According to the Oxford DNB entry on Carter's wife the crime writer Margery Allingham (whose book jackets were among those he designed): 'Their amiable, childless marriage was funded by Allingham's increasingly successful fiction. And, although Youngman Carter assisted his wife as a sounding board for plot design, and by producing covers and illustrations for her work, he found it difficult to sell his art. Allingham supported his increasingly expensive tastes until after the Second World War, when Pip came into his own writing society columns for The Tatler, which he edited from 1954.' For the letters' recipient E. V. Knox, editor of Punch from 1932 to 1949, see his entry in the Oxford DNB. The letters are in good condition, lightly aged; the galley proof is on the usual cheap paper, discoloured and chipping. (The first two of the four books reviewed by Knox in the proof are crime novels: quite appropriately considering Carter's wife and Knox's brother Ronald, author of the celebrated 'Ten Commandments' of detective fiction.) All eight letters signed 'Youngman Carter'. Three of the eight letters are in autograph: two from 1953 and the other undated. The letters are businesslike, exclusively concerned with the practicalities of reviewing (the sending of copy, 'wordage', deadlines, arrangements for a holiday 'deputy'. On one occasion he asks Knox to send 'an article concerning itself with recommended reading for the Festival [of Britain]', on another he asks him to review H. E. Bates's 'The Face of England', as its illustrator, an 'artist called Kirsting' has 'himself been very kind and unassuming to us in other directions'. On 14 May 1953 he asks Knox to review 'The Christs Hospital Book', of which Carter is 'the most insignificant of the editors'. He explains that he is drawing Knox's attention to 'its existence because the subject is naturally very near my heart, although I think it can stand on its own legs. It is a labour of love by one and all concerned: if you can think it worth a line or so I would be deeply grateful'. The galley proof ('Book Reviews | By E. V. Knox | Holiday Amusements') is headed 'B?20-7?TATLER?July 29 Book Review?1 9-pt. Baskerville'. It can be dated to 1953 from the publication dates of the four books reviewed: 'Post Mortem' by Guy Cullingford ('I rank Mr. Guy Cullingford's Gilbert Worth very high among murderees.'); 'Symphony in Murder' by Amelia R. Long ('And who fired the pistol, and how? If you can discover before the last chapter, in which the whole orchestra is brought into the house for a demonstration by the Homicide Bureau, you deserve a free ticket for the Festival Hall.'); 'Things I Don't Remember' by Jeanne de Casalis (the author 'has a charming way of confusing reminiscence with fiction'); and 'Regional Books' published by Robert Hale. There are three proof corrections by Knox. From the E. V. Knox papers.
