What to expect

A chance meeting on a train brought together Lord Ickenham and Bill Oakshott—although being told that the love of his life, Hermione, was engaged to none other than Pongo, Lord Ickenham’s nephew, did make Bill feel like he’d been struck behind the ear. But Pongo has troubles of his own to deal with when he accidently breaks one of Hermione’s father’s prized statues—and winds up replacing it with a smuggling vessel full of jewels.

Critics Review

  • “P. G. Wodehouse is still the funniest writer ever to have put words on paper.”

    Hugh Laurie

  • “The gold standard of English wit…There is not, and never will be, anything to touch him.” 

    Christopher Hitchens

  • “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, author of Brideshead Revisited

  • “The cherry on top of what is already a cake without compare.”

    Evening Standard (London)
