About this ebook
'Brings the peerless Jeeves and Wooster barrelling back to life' Daily Mail
A gloriously witty novel from Sebastian Faulks using P.G. Wodehouse’s much-loved characters, Jeeves and Wooster, fully authorised by the Wodehouse estate.
Bertie Wooster is staying at the stately home of Sir Henry Hackwood in Dorset. He is more than familiar with the country-house set-up: he is a veteran of the cocktail hour and, thanks to Jeeves, his gentleman’s personal gentleman, is never less than immaculately dressed.
On this occasion, however, it is Jeeves who is to be seen in the drawing room while Bertie finds himself below stairs – which he doesn’t care for at all.
His predicament is, of course, all in the name of love ...
‘A masterpiece ... a pitch-perfect undertaking’ Spectator
‘Entirely delightful’ Financial Times
‘Delightfully witty, packed with puns’ Sunday Mirror
‘A polished sparkling genuine fake’ Herald

I've often heard it said that a gifted writer can "do" P. G. Wodehouse for a paragraph, but no one can keep it up for an entire book. I think S. Faulks has definitively proven the popular wisdom wrong.
