Great Tales Of Detection
(DOROTHY L SAYERS)
It is hard for me to judge an anthology of detective
stories, since I am not a real devotee of the genre. Great Tales of
Detection contains nineteen stories by different authors, among them Edgar
Allan Poe, G. K. Chesterton, Agatha Christie, Robert Louie Stevenson, Wilkie
Collins and Dorothy L. Sayers herself. An important thing to note is that it
was first published in 1936; so those wanting an up to date survey of the field
of detective fiction will want something more recent. The introduction by
Dorothy Sayers (in annoyingly small print for some reason) gives a brief but
interesting survey of the history of the genre. The only thing missing is the
dates of first publication of the stories. Great Tales of Detection is
good fun reading.
