In one of those rare books that allows us to see the world not as we've never seen it before, but as we see it daily without knowing, Victoria Nelson illuminates the deep but hidden attraction the supernatural still holds for a secular mainstream culture that forced the transcendental underground and firmly displaced wonder and awe with the forces of reason, materialism, and science.

The many shades and nuances of Sayers' life and writing lend themselves well to a play. One in particular stands out-her creation of that ever cheerful, indomitable romantic hero, Lord Peter Wimsey. Who more fitted to narrate and sing praise of her varied and distinctive accomplishments?
