(Did I get the name of the club right?) But I enjoyed THE NINE TAILORS very much.<br /><br />The later version of Wimsey I wasn't so crazy about. The actor just looked a bit too fussy and kind of a sad dumpling sort.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-24750787679902519662011-06-14T12:56:39.934-04:002011-06-14T12:56:39.934-04:00Hadn't realized Sayers was quite so much the l...Hadn't realized Sayers was quite so much the looker.

I have always enjoyed all the Sayers novels, but I think my favorite still is "The Nine Tailors," which combines so many great mystery elements (including impossible crime) and some absolutely wonderful bellringing scenes. The bells have true personalities - which, in the context of the book, is completely right.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-66950927399154122862011-06-14T11:02:57.441-04:002011-06-14T11:02:57.441-04:00Jane and Lance: Oh well, then you have to rectify ...Jane and Lance: Oh well, then you have to rectify that immediately. :) Luckily most of the Sayers books are readily available.

The indoor scenes, I think. The outdoor scenes looked slightly different, as if maybe they were done on film.<br /><br />It's been a long while since I've seen them. Maybe its time to check Netflix. :)<br /><br />I wish there were more of them, too.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-7857726358754305972011-06-14T10:59:41.223-04:002011-06-14T10:59:41.223-04:00BookBelle: I love that portrait too.

Early sixties is not old in my book.<br /><br />I always think of writers, artists and classical musicians/conductors as having the longest lives for whatever reason.<br /><br />I've also realized lately that she wrote more books than I remembered.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-33307613565942832852011-06-14T10:56:08.005-04:002011-06-14T10:56:08.005-04:00Paris Breakfast: Thanks for dropping by and lookin...Paris Breakfast: Thanks for dropping by and looking at your favorite Winslow Homer, Carol. :)<br /><br />AND thanks so much for the tip about the BBC radio's Peter Wimsey productions. I missed it. Somehow didn't see the comment until too late. I was exhausted last night and not seeing straight I suppose.
