by Philip Youngman-Carter (Author)
The husband and life-long collaborator of Margery Allingham, one of the truly great British crime writers, Philip ('Pip') Youngman-Carter was a prolific journalist, artist, book-jacket designer and short-story writer. For the first time, Tales on the Off-Beat collects the best of his short fiction, from rare stories written whilst a serving army officer in the Western Desert in WWII to his best-known tales of the unexpected, the mysterious and the downright spooky, which appeared in Argosy and Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine 1959-1963. Edited by Mike Ripley, who completed Youngman-Carter's unfinished Albert Campion novel as Mr Campion's Farewell in 2014, with an Introduction by Barry Pike, Chairman of the Margery Allingham Society.
