"Wodehouse is, sentence for sentence, the funniest writer in the English language, and this is his best, most shapely and finely crafted, novel."

"PG Wodehouse is not a writer for those who want to read about the rah-rah world of aristocratic fops, he’s a writer for those who love reading sentences that shimmer with brilliance and wit. He is the preeminent English stylist, and I find it impossible to read him without purring with pleasure and hooting with laughter. This particular Jeeves and Wooster novel is a real corker."

I think everyone should have a Jeeves in their life.

This is the one in which Berie Wooster is duped/blackmailed by his 'good and deserving' Aunt Dahlia into travelling and staying at Totleigh Towers, all in pursuit of an 18th century Cow-creamer that she wants her husband to sucessfully purchase (for reasons that are to complicated to go into here), and that sees Bertie's friends Gussie Fink-Nottle, the rev Harold 'stinker' Pinker fall into and out of favour with their respective (and prospective) other half's - one of whom (Madeline Bassett) believes Bertie Wooster to be madly and deeply in love with her.

Throw in the would-be fascist Dictator Roderick Spode, and the fact that Sir Watkyn Bassett (who owns Totleigh Towers) believes Bertie Wooster to be a kleptomaniac, and we have all the necessary ingredients for another convoluted set of scenarios, which only Jeeves is able to unravel to everybody's satisfaction.
