Hardcover. Zustand: Good. First Edition. In this book of eleven essays, Sayers contribution comes first. It is The Priest's Tale: The Journeyman.Tan cloth boards with paper label on the spine. Lacking dust wrapper if there was one.Book is soiled and the paper label on the spine is chipped causing loss of several letters. C…racked hinge after first front end paper. Owner's name in ink inside front cover. Good only. It is difficult to write a summary paragraph about Sayers. She is most famous for her detective novels featuring Lord Peter Wimsey as the detective. Early in her career she worked for an advertising agency writing promotional material. Later in life she did not just write detective novels, she wrote plays, essays, theology and poetry. Late in life, after influence from Charles Williams, she translated Dante's Inferno. She and C. S. Lewis had a fine friendship which was full of mutual respect. It is not just the quality of her writing that makes her stand out, it is the quality of her thinking. The Dorothy L. Sayers Society keeps alive her memory and encourages superior scholarship. Full refund if not satisfied. Shelley and Son Books specializes in C.S.Lewis, J.R.R.Tolkien & the Inklings.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fair. No Jacket. First U.S. edition, 2nd printing (August 1919) hardcover, bound in tan cloth, with paste-on title label on spine (as published), is in Fair+ condition, having some wear (rubbing/scuffing) to covers and spine (especially noticed at bottom of front cover); slight sway to covers; age-toning to e…ndpapers and to all pages generally; former owner has penciled the title of one of the stories in the book ("The Beast with Five Fingers") on the first free endpaper; book has deckled edges, and looks to have been originally published with uncut pages (some pages may still be uncut). The only illustrations are in the endpaper sections (front and back), and are anonymous. In form this is a gentle parody of the famous Decameron, with an anonymously written prologue featuring some imaginary early 20th Century English travelers. What follows are eleven compositions by actual authors, two poems, nine short stories, by authors ranging from Dorothy L. Sayers, W. F. Harvey, and D. E. A. Wallace. For contents, see our photo section. Scarce. Literature. Fiction. Poetry. Anthologies.
