The Life and Times of Dorothy L. Sayers Presented by Vernon Sproxton who describes her as a parson's daughter, brilliant classics scholar, school ma'am, advertising copy-writer, yarn-spinner, amateur theologian, moralist and philosopher, who had an illegitimate child long before it was fashionable. She appears to have been a very formidable lady with a racy wit and acute intelligence; unsuffering of fools, yet with a real, if somewhat over-intellectualised grasp of " that love which moves the sun and all the other stars"; and it could well be. that it will be her expression of this (which she sometimes expressed unsurpassably) which will remain long after Lord Peter Wimsev and The Man Born to Be King have been forgotten.'
With contributions from those who knew her. including Dr Barbara Rey nolds, a close friend for many years who completed her translation of Dante's Divine Comedy. and dramatist James Bra bazon, who knew her as a fellow church warden.
The writings of DOROTHY L. SAYERS are read by VIVIAN PICKLES
