Published as The Galantrys in America, Dance of the Years is one of Margery Allingham's oft overlooked novels. Originally published in 1943, it is a fictionalised account of Allingham's family heritage, which she insisted as the closest records of the facts.
First published in 1943, Dance of the Years centres on the birth and growth of James, the fictional representative of Margery's great-grandfather who was 'born in 1800 and left ten thousand pounds and the injunction that no gentleman ever works'. The offspring of a Georgian country gentleman and a gypsy, James becomes an early-Victorian success, devoting his riches to becoming a gentleman and establishing a family name.
A fascinating exploration of family ties and values by a famous author of detective crime fiction, this title will appeal to a wide range of readers.

All but the earliest of Margery Allingham's mysteries are a delight to read. Her light, literate style and humor are timeless. Her characters mature over time, never losing their individuality and always a pleasure to spend time with. I thought I'd read everything she wrote and so was very pleased to come upon this family history lightly disguised as a novel so many years after her death. I didn't expect much and was therefore surprised by its charm. If you're an Allingham fan you'll enjoy this book.Product details

Dance of the Years edition by Margery Allingham Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I'm an Allingham fan of long standing - this one didn't strike me. Not an Albert Campion book, which I expected and would have loved.
AAAAA+++++!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As usual Allingham has spun a spell binding story. Her mastery of the English language, her clear cut, very human characters and the twists and turns of the plot make this a most enjoyable read
I loved the book. Very imaginative exploration of genealogical traits passed on through generations. For those who have not read Margery Allingham, she is a very rewarding writer.
