Published posthumously in 1973, Striding Folly included
three previously uncollected short stories, all featuring
Lord Peter Wimsey.
The contents are as follows:
Striding Folly
The Haunted Policeman
Talboys
These tales represent the last known Wimsey titles to come
for Dorothy L Sayers' pen (with the possible exception of
Thrones, Dominations). While 'Striding Folly' is a
conventional Wimsey tale, 'The Haunted Policeman' takes
place on the eve of the birth of Wimsey's first son.
'Talboys' projects the drama some seven years into the
future, at which time there are three male products of the
Wimsey/Vane collaboration; Bredon, Roger, Paul. 'Talboys'
also features Mr Puffet, whose memorable appearance in
Busman's Honeymoon made him prime candidate for a
reoccurring role. In this final tale, the theft of Mr
Puffet's peaches is the subject of investigation, and
behaviour of a guest at Talboys called Miss Quirk is one of
castigation.
