Publisher Description

Fate draws Bertie back to Totleigh Towers, home of the horrifyingly drippy Madeline Bassett and the simply horrifying Watkyn “Pop” Bassett. Bertie is worried, as the only obstacle to a trip down the aisle for him and Madeline is the fact that his friend Gussie and Madeline are in love with each other. When Madeline tries to turn Gussie into a vegetarian and Gussie rebels, Bertie is panic-stricken. Add to the picture a charming cook offering Gussie forbidden treats, Stephanie Byng and her dog Bartholomew, and the nonstop rivalry between Sir Watkyn Bassett and Bertie’s Uncle Tom, and Jeeves has his hands full sorting through the problems that dog Bertie’s footsteps.

"A load of fun but unfortunately something of a bad ending. Wodehouse's humor is up to par and Bertie is his usual self, but somehow Jeeves just doesn't come across as wildly skillful/intelligent as he does in other Wooster/Jeeves novels. Still, tons of fun, but not the best in the series. "

— Noah (4 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • “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.”

    — Evelyn Waugh
  • “Wodehouse can be extremely funny, of course, and Bertie and Jeeves are echt-Englishmen, but the surprising and surpassing pleasure of these books is their cheerful humanity. Reading Wodehouse always makes me feel good.”

    — Kurt Andersen, author of Turn of the Century
  • “It is impossible to be unhappy while reading the adventures of Jeeves and Wooster. And I've tried.”

    — Christopher Buckley, author of Little Green Men

    " Very much like the first P.G. Wodehouse book I read in characters and plot. You have to be in the right mood for this and I'm not sure exactly what mood that would be. Glad I read them but it will be awhile, if ever, if I read Wodehouse again. "

    " Jeeves hates Bertie's hat. Bertie likes the horrendous hat. Fink-Nottle is going veggie--unwillingly. Madeline thinks that fog is the faerie's sheets. Spode is now Lord Sipcup. And Stiffy wants Bertie to steal a figurine. Hilarity ensues. "

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.
