Check out the beautiful cover art on these Japanese editions of Dorothy Sayers' Lord Peter Wimsey books!

One has to wonder - before double checking the exact timeline of 'The Detection Club' and when they would have first met - if Dorothy L. Sayers didn't base Lord Peter Wimsey on A. A. Milne just a little bit - the shattered WWI vet who strove to maintain childlike delight and curiosity in the face of horrors -

Any Dorothy L. Sayers fans here? This is a lovely essay on the advertising theme of Murder Must Advertise. Kudos to Kate Jackson (2016).

Who is in charge of the Dorothy L. Sayers "estate" and all of the publishing rights to the Lord Peter Wimsey mysteries, etc? The Wimsey series on Amazon seems especially plagued by ""bootleg"" editions - moreso even than Sherlock Holmes, but Wimsey isn't even public domain yet.

It's just kindof odd that all of the phony duplicates and "re-uploads" are… soooo prolific for this golden age mystery author in particular.

Tell me… am I the only girlie for whom Lord Peter Wimsey (envisioned as played by Leslie Howard - oh how I wish) invokes the kinds of feelings that, I can only assume, having not particularly experienced them before except I think maybe one time watching Cary Grant in The Bishop's Wife while I was ovulating, make women want to get pregnant and give men babies?

If he wasn't so damn American, Bing Crosby would have made a good cinematic Lord Peter Wimsey.

But it's still the damn cryingest shame in the world that Leslie Howard didn't get to play Lord Peter.

Extra comfort for election day #reading

Today is election day in Portugal and the future seems quite dark, asking for extra comfort and minimising anxiety.

I’ve been re-reading Dorothy L. Sayers’ Lord Peter, which is who one thinks is a good friend. The books are also funny and, most important,  things are cleared and end well (considering this is crime fiction :-)).

I started this re-read last year and after the first volume, read other books (I’m doing the same re-read with Austen and the Brontes), but after reading the second in the series, I can’t put them down and I’m starting the next as soon as I finish one. I’m now almost at the end of The unpleasantness at the Bellona Club and have the next in order of publication ready, which is Lord Peter views the body (12 short stories).

I’m also adding a spicy rooibos hot tea (it’s so cold here, both outside and inside!) and watching/listening one of the lovely Ali channels (go there and check both of her YouTube channels, I find her content so comforting!) while I’m reading.

Viime aikoina olen muuten lukenut putkeen A. E. W. Masonin Hanaud-rikosromaaneja. Ostin Play-kaupasta lärpäkkeeseen semmoisen kaikki niteet muutamalla eurolla -tyyppisen koosteteoksen. Aina niitä lukee ennen kuin selkäänsä ottaa, vaikka toisaalta hyvin ymmärtää, miksi Hanaud jäi toisaalta #SherlockHolmes'in, toisaalta #HerculePoirot'n ja #LordPeterWimsey'n varjoon. #kirjallisuus #dekkarit #AEWMason

New book club! This month we discussed Whose Body? the first book staring Lord Peter Wimsey by Dorothy Sayers.

It’s maddening to me that a swath of the Lord Peter Wimsey books aren’t available to buy or borrow as unabridged #audiobooks. What’s most mysterious is that I KNOW the recordings exist and were once out in the wild: my family borrowed “Murder Must Advertise” on cassette tape from the library for a road trip when I was a tween! (And yes, it was definitely unabridged. The cricket game lasted at least one entire National Forest!)

Murder Must Advertise, from the BBC's 1972-75 Lord Peter Wimsey TV series based on Dorothy L. Sayers' novels, takes a remarkably jaundiced view of the world of the Bright Young Things.

Ian Carmichael was easily the best-ever screen Lord Peter.
