"Short stories about the kind of folks that hung about the clubs in London. Some funny stories involving friends of Bertie Worcester. A good choice for folks who already like Wodehouse and not a bad choice for newbies (though there are better first choices)."
"All PG Wodehouse books are more or less the same, but they are all wonderful. It takes a lot to make me laugh out loud while reading, especially in fiction, but I laughed often during this book."
