Candy's Pick:The Nine Tailors
Dorothy L. Sayers
PR 6037 A95 N54 1989
The Nine Tailors by Dorothy L. Sayers is a good mystery (sorry, my favorite genre) read. It is a story that tells about Sayers’s favorite protagonist Lord Peter Wimsey and his trusted valet Bunter solving a murder, while Wimsey learns all about the complicated task of ringing church bells.
The bells have given specific names, notes, and are housed in a very tall church tower. Church bells were often the first sound the countryside residents heard when there would be an emergency, or an appeal (no pun intended) to help neighbor, announce a wedding, a funeral, a birth and of course call people to worship.
In fact the story opens with Lord Peter and Bunter traveling in the country and getting lost in a snow storm, the car breaking down, and their first clue to help is the pealing of the church bells.
Take a break from studying with this book. Enjoy!!
