A posthumous collection, published in 1972, of the last three Lord Peter Wimsey stories. Striding Folly and The Haunted Policeman had appeared in the anthology Detection Medley (1939); Talboys, in which the Wimseys and their three sons are saddled with a meddlesome house guest, had not been published before. The volume carries a long introduction by Janet Hitchman on Wimsey and his creator.
