"The Vindictive Story of the Footsteps that Ran"Įarly in the story is the sentence, "It was a Sunday afternoon in that halcyon summer of 1921." This then is the chronologically earliest Lord Peter story, although "Copper Fingers" has a flashback which occurs in 1920. The short stories rarely give a clue as to when they occur, so I've kept them in the order in which they appear in that volume unless the story gives me reason to place it elsewhere. All the short stories can be found in the volume Lord Peter. Stories in italics are novels, while those in "quotes" are short stories. (I've also been doing the same for Margery Allingham's Albert Campion series.) The goal of this chronology is to provide a guide for the order in which the stories should be read, and therefore I've avoided giving spoilers in this chronology. To my surprise, no one had assembled such a page on the Web. I created this page because back when I started reading the Peter Wimsey stories - around 1999 - I wanted to know what order to read them in.
