About this title: This book is a Jeeves and Wooster novel. 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 and her new fiance 'Stilton' Cheesewright, who sees Bertie as a snake in the grass. And that biggest blot on the ...

"My first Wodehouse. I'm truly sorry I didn't pick up this author earlier. This book was just a delight to listen to; a funny and entertaining comedy of manners. I'll certainly read the rest of these and recommend them to anyone who enjoys solid British humor.
Wodehouse's chronicling of the daily adventures of Bertie Wooster and his valet Jeeves in pre-war, high society England is sharp, witty and timeless. Bertie's a well-intentioned but foppish member of the Idle Rich who is always in some type of tangle. Jeeves' ability to subtly manipulate his social "superiors" and extricate Bertie from his mishaps is priceless.
I very much enjoyed this as an audio book because the British actor really made the vibrant dialogue come to life. There is also a BBC television series adapted from the Jeeves stories with Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie that is also very well done."
"Oh, the excellently perilous Steeple Bumpleigh & its merry cast of dreadful characteres. Young Nobby! The treacherous Florence! Boko Fittleworth! Stilton, going around "Ho!"ing all over the place! Dear Worplesdon! Edwin the Boy Scout! And last but not least, the illustrious J. Chichester Clam, drinking quarts of coffee & getting nasty shocks from the New Deal. "I mentioned that there was an expression on the tip of my toungue which seemed to me to sum up the nub of the recent proceedings. 'Or, rather, when I say an expression, I mean a saying. A wheeze. A gag. What I believe is called a saw. Something about Joy . . . ' But we went into that all before, didn't we?""
"P.G. Wodehouse is a constant delight. He wrote over ninety novels in his long life, with various characters appearing in their own series, but with approximately 33 short stories and 11 novels based in the Jeeves world it seems possible to read these stories in isolation.
This a great book in the series - all of the skill and humour of Wodehouse shine through, the first being underrated, in my opinion, because of the brilliance of the second. The plotting and structure are sure and light, the pre-amble to the main action is brief, which gives a very cinematic immediacy to the story, and the language is as invigorating as always.
In honesty it's probably a five star book but because there must be some that are "better" than others I gave this a four - it doesn't matter. I enjoyed it greatly and it achieved the thing that I always turn to Wodehouse for - it made me laugh-out-loud on almost every page. A great way to cheer oneself up after being down."
"Yesterday morning, I was reading this while standing on the subway platform full of sleepy workers waiting for the train. A random passerby with his ipod plugged in walked by and shouted
