The elegant, intelligent amateur sleuth Lord Peter Wimsey is one of detective literature's most popular creations.
Dorothy Leigh Sayers (13 June 1893 – 17 December 1957) was a
renowned English crime writer, poet, playwright, essayist,
translator, and Christian humanist. She was also a student of
classical and modern languages.
She is best known for her mysteries, a series of novels and short
stories set between the First and Second World Wars that feature
English aristocrat and amateur sleuth Lord Peter Wimsey, which
remain popular to this day. However, Sayers herself considered her
translation of Dante's Divine Comedy to be her best work. She is
also known for her plays, literary criticism, and essays.
