Publisher Description
This stand-alone novel is another fine example of the wonderful, zany humor of P. G. Wodehouse.
Imperious American widow Beatrice Chavender is visiting her sister's country home near London when a most unfortunate thing happens: she takes a bite of inferior ham while having her breakfast. Soon everyone around her is suffering the consequences—her sister, her brother-in-law, the butler, poor Sally, Sally's fianc├®, and even Mrs. Chavender's ex-fianc├®, "Ham King" J. B. Duff.
Don't miss this wild romp from the acknowledged master of British humor.

— New York Times, 1940

— Evelyn Waugh, New York Times bestselling author -
“Wodehouse’s novels are the very definition of British humor—bubblingly witty and dryly loony.”
