I've since discovered that Sayers actually edited four books on similar lines.

Great Short Stories of Detection, Mystery and Horror (1928),
ditto, second series 1931
ditto, third series 1934

and what may well be the same as Detective Cavalcade, "Tales of Detection, 1936."

It may have started as the newspaper series, or maybe the newspaper series came from the book. I don't know the content of the book "Tales of detection", and I have never seen any of these books in the flesh, so to speak.

The whole set would be a great golden age short story library! It's odd that they are so obscure.
