Description

|
|
|
In this outing, fate conspires to draw Bertie back to Totleigh Towers, the site of an earlier ordeal that nearly landed our hero in prison and, worse, in continuing danger of marriage to Madeline Bassett, the svelte and sadly syrupy daughter of the house. Only one thing stands between Bertie and the dreaded state of matrimony: his good friend Gussie Fink-Nottle, lover of newts and Madeline Bassett. So long as Gussie and Madeline continue to profess their undying love for each other, Bertie is safe. But disaster looms when Gussie rebels at Madeline's attempt to turn him into a vegetarian. It's trouble of the sort only Jeeves can mend. Best known as the creator of Jeeves—the impossibly wise, supremely well-mannered gentleman's gentleman—and Wooster, his unflaggingly affable but bumbling employer, P.G. Wodehouse invokes the very British spirit of a bygone era in a gentle satire that, as Evelyn Waugh puts it, "satisfies the most sophisticated taste and the simplest." "It is impossible to be unhappy while reading the adventures of Jeeves and Wooster. And I've tried."—Christopher Buckley
