Trapped in rural Steeple Bumpleigh, a man less stalwart than Bertie Wooster would probably give way at the knees, for among those present were Florence Craye, to whom Bertie had once been engaged;
her new fianc├® “Stilton” Cheesewright, who sees Bertie as a snake in the grass; and that biggest blot on the landscape, Edwin the Boy Scout, who is busy doing acts of kindness out of sheer
malevolence. All of Bertie’s forebodings are fully justified, for in his efforts to oil the wheels of commerce, promote the course of true love, and avoid the consequences of a vendetta, he becomes
the prey of all and sundry. In fact only Jeeves can save him.
Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“You should read Wodehouse when you’re well, and when you’re poorly;
when you’re traveling, and when you’re not; when you’re feeling clever,
and when you’re feeling utterly dim. Wodehouse always lifts your
spirits, no matter how high they happen to be already.” —Lynne Truss, author of Eats, Shoots and Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation
“Wodehouse’s idyllic world can never stale. He will continue to release
future generations from captivity that may be more irksome than our own.
He has made a world for us to live in and delight in.” —Evelyn Waugh, New York Times bestselling author
“A brilliantly funny writer—perhaps the most consistently funny the English language has yet produced.” —The Times (London)
Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (1881–1975) was an English humorist who wrote novels, short stories, plays, poems, song lyrics, and numerous pieces of journalism. He was highly
popular throughout a career that lasted more than seventy years, and his many writings continue to be widely read. He is best known for his novels and short stories of Bertie Wooster and his
manservant Jeeves and for his settings of English upper-class society of the pre– and post–World War I era. He lived in several countries before settling in the United States after World War II.
During the 1920s, he collaborated with Broadway legends like Cole Porter and George Gershwin on musicals and, in the 1930s, expanded his repertoire by writing for motion pictures. He was honored
with a knighthood in 1975.
