Dorothy L. Sayers (1893 – 1957) was a renowned English author, best known for her series of mysteries featuring amateur sleuth Lord Peter Wimsey. She also wrote plays, essays, and poetry and translated classic works, including Dante's Divine Comedy.
I am reading her LPW series and enjoying it very much. Wimsey has a lot of Bertie Wooster in him and Sayers can be very funny. I don't have plans to read her other books, but I do plan to read all the Wimsey books.
