Why this must be read: It’s a Wodehouse/Wimsey crossover, and a delight from start to finish. Sayers never wrote the tale of Lord Peter’s first case, in which he solved the mystery of the Attenbury Emeralds and also met the young Detective Inspector Parker. Happily [livejournal.com profile] adina_atl has taken on the formidable task and given us not only one of the few Wimsey-fics of any notable length, but something clever, funny, and beautifully in character. Oh, and with Jeeves and Bertie Wooster, too.

The second bird was not overly tall, with hair the colour of corn silk, arrayed in the outer crust of a gentleman in a style Jeeves could not but approve. It was the monocle screwed into his left eye that fired the old brain cells, however. "Flim! Flim Wimsey! I say, it's been a few years, what?"

He looked startled for a moment and let the monocle drop from his eye. "Captain Wooster." He seemed more pleased than some have at renewing their acquaintance with the last scion of the Wooster line. "And how are you getting on, old boy?"

I'm so glad you've recced this - I read it ages ago and it's absolutely brilliant - anyone who's a fan of either DLS or PGW should read it.
