    "I am Lord Peter"
  

*by A***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 9, 2013*

Before reading this biography, as well as Ms. Sayers' letters which were edited by Barbara Reynolds, I could well believe that there was a good deal of Ms. Sayers in the cerebral Helen Vane character in the Lord Peter mysteries.  Ms. Sayers was in the first group of women to receive a degree from Cambridge and became a well-known Christian apologist.  Her mysteries contain erudite references and Latin phrases.However, Ms. Reynolds' biography establishes that Lord Peter and Ms. Sayers also share a number of characteristics, most notably exuberance.  In addition to writing one of the most delectable descriptions of the male head in the English language, Ms. Sayers' developed the Lord Peter character from a one-dimensional "silly ass" (it's apparently OK to casually use that descriptive word in England) to a more serious, fully-formed individual.In addition to having the resource of being a friend of Ms. Sayers, Ms. Reynolds was also given access to a number of previously unavailable letters written by Ms. Sayers. And Ms. Sayers wrote a great many letters, in addition to a prodigious body of work.  This new information forms a basis for agreeing with her only--but unacknowledged--child that she did the best she could by him.  He was raised in a very loving home by one of his mother's cousins who supported herself by fostering children, and was later adopted by Ms. Sayers and her husband.  Ms. Sayers worked very hard to earn enough to provide for her child's financial needs.  He--John Anthony Fleming-- states that from the age of six or seven he suspected that "Cousin Dorothy" was really his mother.  It must have been a great source of pain to him that she felt she could not recognize him as her biological child, but when asked about this by Ms. Reynolds shortly before his death, he had become reconciled to the situation.  He appears to have been a child to be proud of--earning a scholarship to Cambridge and graduating with a First degree.I highly recommend this biography.

    Much More Interesting Than Agatha Christie
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 22, 2014*

The story of a remarkable woman who began her career as a writer writing advertisements, progressed to mysteries (Creating Lord Peter Whimsey), concluding with religious writings and finally completing a landmark translation of Dante's "Inferno". It is the story of an amazing woman, who always insisted on the inclusion of the "L" when her name was written, took a similar firm stand on the progression of her career and her life. Frequently writers who see themselves as classic academics or gifted word smiths who have been forced to support themselves early in their careers by writing advertisements or mysteries call this work a prostitution of their gifts. Not so Sayers, er...Dorothy L. Sayers. She believed she could not reach the highlights of "The Man Who Would Be King" or the translation of Dante without the former work of creating the Guinness Toucan  ad or gallant Lord Peter Whimsey. She believed the gift of creativity, the act of creation in each of us is a gift of God. Her book, Mind of the Maker, states this proposition clearly. Dorothy L. Sayers was a gifted, unique individual who sought, and I think successfully found, an understanding of her gifts and channeled those gifts into very meaningful contributions to an understanding of our relationship with God.

I have read all her mystery books and loved them.  So interesting to read about her difficult and so wonderful life.  Always interesting to read about the person behind the books.
