Of this collection I've read the stories by Ernest Bramah (pretty good), Edgar Wallace (very good), Baroness Orczy, Chesterton, C. Daly King (one of his best I think), John Rhode (very clever), and that's about it.<br /><br />And I own that <em>Campion</em> DVD boxed set! It's so much better than the books.dfordoomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02306293859869179118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137677673775151256.post-37903601666255806012016-12-21T15:58:26.028-08:002016-12-21T15:58:26.028-08:00I was impressed with the original contributions Sa...I was impressed with the original contributions Sayers was able to get.<br /><br />Rigg's interpretation of Mrs. Bradley was very...arch. I think that was the approach the series makers wanted and she went with it. I wish they had stayed truer to the books: it would have been so much more interesting, and could have made quite a series!The Passing Tramphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09830680639601570152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137677673775151256.post-30258274945641358302016-12-21T15:17:45.302-08:002016-12-21T15:17:45.302-08:00Some of the authors here I don't know, but the...Some of the authors here I don't know, but the fact that Sayers got Christie, Queen, Carr, and Mitchell among others makes me think this was a pretty heavy-hitting anthology. I'm curious to discover some of the authors I don't know.<br /><br />Incidentally, I've never been able to stand the Rigg interpretation of Mrs. Bradley. She's just anachronistic, and spends too much time mugging for the camera. The Dame Beatrice in the books was the most mysterious part of her mysteries. Rigg's guest performance on Doctor Who would have better suited the character.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06590397694589547524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137677673775151256.post-70160751934816502902016-12-20T12:22:11.378-08:002016-12-20T12:22:11.378-08:00I'm in......I'm in......Joe Allegrettihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13032453985256342838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137677673775151256.post-65101578502546275152016-12-20T11:43:28.644-08:002016-12-20T11:43:28.644-08:00I don't know, not sure I reviewed enough books...I don't know, not sure I reviewed enough books this year, will have to look back over the posts.The Passing Tramphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09830680639601570152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137677673775151256.post-11408380032869624152016-12-20T11:41:51.244-08:002016-12-20T11:41:51.244-08:00There was a short story collection a few years lat...There was a short story collection a few years later that collected some of them, but it was not identical, nor was it edited by Sayers.
