About this ebook
'Is there a better P. G. Wodehouse character than Psmith? No there is not. Thank you for agreeing' John Self
'An incomparable and timeless genius' Kate Mosse
_____________________________________
'It seems to me that you and I were made for each other. I am your best friend's best friend and we both have a taste for stealing other people's jewellery.'
Lady Constance Keeble has both an imperious manner and a valuable diamond necklace. The precarious peace of Blandings is shattered when her necklace becomes the object of desire for some well-connected jewel thieves - among them the Honourable Freddie Threepwood, who wants the reward money for a bookmaking business, and Psmith, the elegant socialist. On patrol with the impossible task of bringing order to Blandings is the Efficient Baxter, whose strivings lead to a memorable encounter with the castle flowerpots.

The wonderful convergence of the world of Psmith and the delightful Blandings. 10 years after the first time I read it, the charm has only increased.. magnificent, truly laugh out loud worthy, and full of delectable phrases. What ho!

As always P. G. Wodehouse is brilliant and humourous.
