Harriet Deborah Vane was a mystery novelist and amateur detective in the 1930s who worked with and eventually wed Lord Peter Wimsey (she was subsequently entitled to the sytle of Lady Peter Wimsey). Their courtship and cases (which were in effect the same thing) were chronicled by Dorothy L. Sayers. According to Sayers, the couple had five children.
Her inclusion into the Wold Newton Universe derives from Tarzan Alive by Philip José Farmer, which identifies Lord Peter as a central member of the Wold Newton Family.
