The Man Born to be King

Fiction

“This new edition of The Man Born to be King is very much to be welcomed. Dorothy L. Sayers's groundbreaking series of radio plays about the life of Christ still read as freshly as they did in the 1940s. What is so special about this new edition is that those who have not encountered the plays before will have the benefit of a new introduction by Kathryn Wehr. This introduction helpfully places the plays in their social and historical context, when World War II unfolded, but also gives a very good summary of the difficulties encountered by Sayers both within and beyond the BBC.”
