About this title: This is an Uncle Fred novel. Frederick, Earl of Ickenham, remains young at heart. So it is for him the act of a moment to lean out of the Drones Club window with a catapult and ping the silk top-hat off his grumpy in-law, the distinguished barrister Sir Raymond Bastable. Unfortunately things don't end there. The sprightly earl finds that his action has inspired a scandalous bestseller and a film script - but this is as nothing compared with the entangled fates of the couples that surround him and which only his fabled sweetness and light can unravel.

"This book was so incredibly funny! Can you say British? The plot was interesting enough to keep my attention through the whole story. There was always something going on, and the characters were full of color and life. Some of the characters bring Agatha Christie to mind. I will read this again sometime, no doubt about it."
"This wasn't my absolute favorite Wodehouse, but it did have Uncle Fred and you have to love a character who is dapper, light hearted, and knows the phrase "sublunary medulla oblongata diathesis." (taken from Uncle Fred in Springtime)."
