What could be a greater joy for Wimsey fanciers than this volume of all the short stories about him? Many have been unavailable for years, and rereading the more familiar ones is as keen a pleasure as ever. There are 20 of the stories, every one a model of style, pure detection and character and background delight. Sandoe"s introduction is of course excellent, and there are two additions by others, an essay and a parody. This edition includes "Talboys," about Harriet and Peter and their three sons; the twenty stories; an essay, "Sayers, Lord Peter, and God," by Carolyn Heilbrun; and E. C. Bentley"s parody "Greedy Night."
