The Complete Stories

The Wimsey stories are of course the best, “The Learned Adventure of the Dragon's Head” one of my favourites. I more or less plowed through the majority of the book, until I hit the Montague Egg stories, which took me a bit to appreciate (I kept imagining him as a literal egg in a suit, like Humpty Dumpty), and then the last handful of stories were interesting but not enough.

As a compilation of short stories I thought this book was a hit. I loved the Lord Wimsey short stories. The Mr. Egg stories were ok. I liked a few of the random ones, maybe if I read them before the Wimsey stories I would have liked them better. If you like Wimsey then definately read his shorts.
