`To dive into a Wodehouse novel is to swim in some of the most elegantly turned phrases in the English language' Ben Schott`There are moments, Jeeves, when one asks oneself, "Do trousers matter?"'`The mood will pass, sir.'Aunt Dahlia has tasked Bertie with purloining an antique cow creamer from Totleigh Towers. In order to do so, Jeeves hatches a scheme whereby Bertie must charm the droopy and altogether unappealing Madeline and face the wrath of would-be dictator Roderick Spode. Though the prospect fills him with dread, when duty calls, Bertie will answer, for Aunt Dahlia will not be denied.
In a plot that swiftly becomes rife with mishaps, it is Jeeves who must extract his master from trouble. Again. `To have one of his books in your hand is to possess, by way of a pill, that which can relieve anxiety, rageiness, or an afternoon-long tendency towards the sour.
Paper has rarely been put to better use than printing Wodehouse' Caitlin Moran
