Bibliography of Margery Allingham (1904-1966)
This list includes all Margery Allingham's published fiction (though The Oaken Heart, strictly, is fact and so is Francis Smith). In addition, she published many reviews of other authors' books in Time and Tide, The Daily Graphic, and The Tatler; many film stories in her Aunt Maud's magazines; sketches and light verse in Joy and Girl's Cinema; and essays and actual pieces in various magazines.
Vintage are reprinting all of Margery Allingham's books in the UK as are Felony & Mayhem Mysteries in the US. These are available from local bookstores or via the internet from Amazon UK and Amazon US. Second-hand copies of out of print books can often be obtained via internet dealers such as Addall, AbeBooks and Oxfam Books.
