Upon her arrival at the serene Shrewsbury College for the 'Gaudy' celebrations, Harriet is confronted by her worst fears. She encounters obscene graffiti, poison pen letters, and a disgusting effigy.

About the Author
Dorothy L Sayers was born in Oxford in 1893, and was both a classical scholar and a graduate in modern languages. As well as her popular Lord Peter Wimsey series, she wrote several religious plays, but considered her translations of Dante's Divina Commedia to be her best work. She died in 1957.
