Publisher Description

A private detective who can make the guilty confess simply by smiling at them. An artist so intimidated by his morally impeccable cat that he feels compelled to wear formal attire at dinner. A devotee of Proust whose life is turned upside down when he inadvertently subscribes to a correspondence course on "How to Acquire Complete Self-Confidence and an Iron Will." These are just a few of the many members of the eccentric Mulliner clan whose lives and exploits are laid before the regulars of the Angler's Rest by that doyen of raconteurs, Mr. Mulliner, in a series of tall stories in which lunacy and comic exuberance reign supreme.

"Loved this book; it's great to get bite-sized Wodehouse chunks when life and time seem limited. Wodehouse is his ever-lovely self, and the wit and charm run through right to the last story. Keep feeling like I want to go back and harvest it for about a million fantastic quotations!"

— Angela (5 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • “Wodehouse’s expert storytelling and portraits of sneakery, humiliation, and redemption are unwaveringly brilliant…Wodehouse’s delightful descriptions tickle and tease through his acute mastery of language.”

    — Uncultured Critic
  • “[P. G. Wodehouse] is known for numerous popular stories and novels about his whimsical upper-class characters: the Honorable Bertie Wooster, Psmith, Mr. Mulliner; Jeeves, the valet, and assorted peers. Much of the humor stems from the idle gentleman. The books contain fantasy, affectionate satire, and the absurd comic situations of farce. The style is very elaborate, full of verbal ingenuity, mock pomposity, and unexpected slang.”

    " The joy is not necessarily in the stories, though they are fine morsels, but more in the brilliant use of language. Pip pip. "

    " I adore the Mulliner stories, almost as much as I love the Egg, Bean & Grumpet stories. "The Smile That Wins" is one of my favorites. "

    " Excellent collection of short stories. Wodehouse is a comedic genius for combining pithy sophistication with fantastical stories. Love it! "

    " These stories don't seem nearly as clever as the other Wodehouse ones I've read, possibly because each story only had about 25 pages to get things going. "

    " I don't like the Mulliner stories as much as the Jeeves (obviously) or Blandings stories, but they do in a pinch. "

    " I loved this - I remember watching the TV show with Fry and Laurie as a child, knowing that my dad read all of these books when he was young. I don't live in the UK anymore, and reading these stories gave me a sense of familiarity dripping with humor, 'tradition' and ridiculosity! "

    " Nothing deep here, but it was a fun collection of stories (my favorite being "Best Seller" which had such a sweet, happy ending!) and was nicely written and nicely British as well. "

    " This book was a lovely light hearted read. Some of the stories made me laugh so hard I embarrassed myself in front of strangers. The two stories about Webster the dignified cat who goes downhill were my favorites. "

    " This is Wodehouse close to his best. The best of the stories are actually funnier than anything else of his I've read. I'd give it 5 stars, but a few of the stories fell a bit flat, so overall it's not quite as perfect as the best of the Jeeves and Wooster books. "

    " Mulliner Nights is an ok read, I'd say. The book lacks the verbal high-jinks of the Bertie/Jeeves books, and without the extraterrestrial banter of those two, these stories are just ur-Berties, and a bit formulaic at that. "

    — Chris, 7/4/2013

    " This is 4 stars *for a P.G. Wodehouse book*; it is 5 stars by any other rating system. "

    " An absolute favorite. Probably my most favorite book so far. The language and spirit of this book are of a wonderful, sublime nature. Like a piece of lemon cake melting in your mouth on a summer night. "

    " PG Wodehouse is a comic genius. He is in a class by himself. If this man doesn't make you laugh, it's very likely that nobody can. "
