Dorothy Leigh Sayers naît à Oxford en 1893. Fille du pasteur de Witham, elle naît dans un milieu bourgeois aisé que va ruiner la Première Guerre mondiale.. Après de brillantes études à Oxford, elle se destine à l”enseignement mais se rend compte qu”elle ne supporte pas ce métier après un séjour en France comme professeur-assistante d”anglais. Son meilleur souvenir de la France est d”y avoir lu tous les romans d”Arsène Lupin et d”avoir fréquenté au Collège des Roches le séduisant Eric Whelpton, dont elle s”inspirera pour créer le héros de ses romans policiers.
