Collection containing the novella The Case of the Late Pig, four short stories, and a short essay excerpted from a radio broadcast by Allingham.

This was my first encounter with amateur sleuth Albert Campion, as I'd not even seen the tv adaptation. It struck me as covering some of the same territory as Dorothy Sayers' Lord Peter Wimsey, although much lighter in tone. Very enjoyable light reading, but the stories didn't really stick in my memory for the most part, and I thought the solutions rather too obvious in one or two stories. I suspect that they suffered somewhat from the strictures imposed by the short story format. (

"My Friend Mr. Campion"
From my point of view one of the oddest things about my friend Mr. Campion is that here we are in 1935, I've known him for eight years and I haven't the faintest idea who he is or what sort of yarn I shall be called upon to retail about him next.

"The Case of the Man with the Sack"
There was a personal letter under the pile of greeting cards sent off a week too soon by earnest citizens who had taken the Postmaster-General's annual warning a shade too seriously.

"The Case of the White Elephant"
Mr. Campion, piloting his companion through the crowded courtyard at Burlington House, became aware of the old lady in the Daimler, partly because her chauffeur almost ran over him and partly because she gave him a stare of such vigorous and personal disapproval that he felt she must know him very well indeed or have mistaken him for someone else entirely.

"The Case of the Old Man in the Window"
Newly appointed Superintendent Stanislaus Oates was by no means intoxicated, but he was cheerful, as became a man celebrating an important advance in a distinguished career, and Mr. Campion, who sat opposite him at the small table in the corner of the chop-house, surveyed the change in his usually taciturn friend with interest.

"The Case of the Late Pig"
The main thing to remember in autobiography, I have always thought, is not to let any damned modesty to creep in to spoil the story.
