Tag: series:Peter Wimsey and Lord Peter Wimsey Novels.

This is just one example where I believe a NO vote is in order.

The "series:Peter Wimsey" includes a collection of short stories - the "Peter Wimsey Novels" do not.

I am happy with combining mysteries with series, but agree novels is a subset that should not be combined.

I agree.

For the same reason, I voted "no" on combining "mystery; sayers; series" with "Mystery - Sayers" or "sayers mystery", as DLS wrote a number of short stories and a novel (The Documents in the Case) that were not part of any series, but which were mysteries.

On a side note, "SilentInAWay has proposed combining the tag harriet vine and harriet vane" gave me pause, remembering Gaudy Night and why Harriet received that first anonymous note!

crap crap crap -- I forgot all about the stories -- and, to make matters worse, I used the novels tag as the one that was linked to all the others; so if one fails, they all fail.

I've reproposed some of the combinations using a different tag (although, if the Lord Peter series contains a book that is not an English mystery, then I'm twice screwed).

Wasn't one of the Peter Wimsey short stories set in Corsica?

No, I just checked. I was misremembering. It was actually set in the Basque country. It's The Incredible Elopement of Lord Peter Wimsey.

>5 lilithcat: I hope you're not suggesting that the foreign setting makes it no longer an English mystery

No. Lord Peter was always the "perfect English aristocrat", wherever he may have roamed!

Wasn't he though!

Come to think of it, I think I even own a copy of the Lord Peter stories. )It's in a box somewhere, waiting to be catalogued.)
