Description

|
|
|
Trapped in rural Steeple Bumpleigh, a man less stalwart than Bertie Wooster would probably give way at the knees, for among those present are Florence Craye, to whom Bertie has once been engaged, and her new fiancé "Stilton" Cheesewright, who sees Bertie as a snake in the grass. Add to that Edwin the Boy Scout, who is busy doing acts of kindness out of sheer malevolence, and all 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. He is in such a pickle, in fact, that only Jeeves can save him. Best known as the creator of Jeeves (the impossibly wise, supremely well-mannered gentleman's gentleman) and Wooster (his unflaggingly affable but bumbling employer), Wodehouse invokes the very British spirit of a bygone era in a gentle, hilarious satire that, as Evelyn Waugh puts it, "satisfies the most sophisticated taste and the simplest."
