Paperback. Condition: Good. An epistolary crime novel from the creator of the immortal Lord Peter Wimsey, Dorothy L Sayers: in this thrilling murder story she tells her story instead through the letters of the victim and the suspects. With an introduction by author and journalist Libby Purves.

Paperback. Condition: Fair. In twelve plays for broadcasting at monthly intervals, Dorothy L. Sayers drew on material from all four Gospels, keeping the theme of Jesus of Nazareth's divine kingship in focus throughout, while locating him firmly in the social and political context of his time. The first half cover episodes that precede the final journey to Jerusalem and the latter half primarily deal with Passion Week themes. It is the simplicity and profundity of Jesus' words in the Fourth Gospel especially that Sayers drew on in her own writing for the voice of Jesus on air. The plays gave her an opportunity to explore the many gospel characters surrounding Jesus, not least that of Judas. And beyond the utter sorrow of Jesus' death, the King comes into his own in the garden of resurrection. I am delighted at the long overdue re-publication of Dorothy L. Sayers' religious plays, which will help make these valuable texts available to the current generation. Let us hope that some theatre enthusiasts will be encouraged to re-stage them Suzanne Bray, Lille Catholic University As Ann Loades makes clear in her extremely informative introduction, Dorothy L.
