This biography of the novelist Dorothy Leigh Sayers - the creator of Lord Peter Wimsey and the bestselling author of a dozen detective novels - brings out the spiritual pilgrimage and struggle at the heart of Sayers' life story. The author, who draws on thousands of letters Sayers wrote, reveals her to be a complex woman. Sayers was a very private person who even hid the existence of an illegitimate child from her closest friends. She was also someone to whom faith was central and wrote many theological books as well as the famous detective novels. Her radio play on the life of Christ, 'The Man Born to be King', caused a furore when it was first broadcast and went on to win acclaim. She was also linked with the Inklings - the Oxford group of writers which included C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, J.R.R. Tolkien and others. Codice articolo 002588
