Publisher Description
When Maud Marsh flings herself into George Bevan's cab in Piccadilly, he starts believing in damsels in distress. George traces his mysterious traveling companion to Belpher Castle, home of Lord Marshmoreton, where things become severely muddled. Maud's aunt, Lady Caroline Byng, wants Maud to marry Reggie, her stepson. Maud, meanwhile, is known to be in love with an unknown American she met in Wales. So when George turns up speaking American, a nasty case of mistaken identity breaks out. In fact, the scene is set for the perfect Wodehouse comedy of errors.

"Una lettura piacevolissima! Chi conosce e apprezza lo stile di Wodehouse (e anche chi non lo conosce) non può lasciarsi sfuggirequesta storia piena di equivoci spassosi e situazioni talmente assurde da non poter essere che vere. "

— Seema, 1/25/2011 -
" An enjoyable early Wodehouse. It didn't have the number of laugh-out-loud moments that I find in the best Jeeves & Wooster stories and novels, and it took a while to get going, but there were still several moments that I really enjoyed (such as the tearoom scene near the end.) "

About P. G. Wodehouse
Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (1881–1975) was an English humorist who wrote novels, short stories, plays, poems, song lyrics, and numerous pieces of journalism. He was highly popular throughout a career that lasted more than seventy years, and his many writings continue to be widely read. He is best known for his novels and short stories of Bertie Wooster and his manservant Jeeves and for his settings of English upper-class society of the pre– and post–World War I era. He lived in several countries before settling in the United States after World War II. During the 1920s, he collaborated with Broadway legends like Cole Porter and George Gershwin on musicals and, in the 1930s, expanded his repertoire by writing for motion pictures. He was honored with a knighthood in 1975.
