Yeah, I forget the name of it, but it's the one where he and Harriet Vane are married, right? (Not Busman's Honeymoon - that's the one that originated as a play)
I've got a few of them. Read them to death a while ago, so I left them alone for a while. Just starting to read them again. I'm in love with Lord Peter Wimsey...
Did you know that Sayers wrote a translation of Dante's Divine Comedy? And she stuck to the original rhyme and rhythm scheme, too, which is a hell of a lot easier to do in medeival Italian than modern English! My brother swears by that translation. He started reading it to me when he still lived near me.
Dorothy Sayers was an amazing woman.
