Publisher Description

The Times has announced, much to Bertie's astonishment, the news of his engagement to the beautiful Bobbie Wickham. But worse is yet to come… Uncle Tom's antique silver cow-creamer has gone missing. Kipper Herring has learned his and Bertie's former headmaster, leading British psychiatrist Sir Roderick Glossop, is posing as a butler, and Aunt Dahlia's masterly French chef is in trouble. By a rare stroke of genius, Bertie finds a solution to all these problems, which is to recall Jeeves from his annual holiday. The incomparable manservant sorts everybody out in his usual imperturbable style.

This title is also known as Jeeves in the Offing.

"I always enjoy P.G. Wodehouse and stories about Bertie Wooster and Jeeves. Sadly, Jeeves is missing from most of this book and I sorely missed him. The book still has amusing antics and the thread of meanness that makes these books so cutting, but this one wasn't quite as amusing as others that I've read. I also don't think this book is the best introduction to these characters--it's better if you have some prior knowledge from reading some of the other stories even though the actual plot is stand-alone. Recommended for folks looking to read more Jeeves stories but not to those who are reading their first one."

    " Read by Simon Callow. Poor Bertie, this time it really wasn't his fault, he was actually the only - relatively - sane person around yet he still ended up labeled as a lunatic in the general sense and a kleptomaniac too! And who can he thank for that? Jeeves! Sometimes I think Bertie's nothing but a bottomless well of amusement for Jeeves, the poor chap. "

    " A hilarious novel. I laughed many times, and I'm not apt to do such a thing while reading. I love Wodehouse's dialogue and cannot wait to read more of his books. "

    " Clever. Sometimes clever is enough, but not this time, apparently. I think I was wanting something more substantial than simply clever. I'd never read Wodehouse before and I can see why people like him, so I'll have to try again sometime when I am in a different mood. "

    " I have listened to several of these Bertie Wooster books on cd and they never fail to make me smile. Bertie's manservant, Jeeves, always seems to save the day AND get in the last word without making Bertie lose face. A unique pair of characters! "

    " I can do no better than Evelyn Waugh: "Mr. Wodehouse's idyllic world can never stale. He will continue to release future generations from captivity that may be more irksome than our own. He has made a world for us to live in and delight in." "

    " This was a fast paced somewhat farcical book with interesting British vocabulary and upper crust melodrama. I doubt I'd read more in the series of Jeeves books, but pick one and check out the strange attitudes servant to master and the terminology. "

    " Almost always adore Wodehouse but this was not the funniest of the Jeeves series. The reader on this one, Ian Carmichael, does not come up to my favorite reader, Jonanthan Cecil for bringing the characters to comic life. Still- a decent listen. "

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.
