The Code of the Woosters by P.G. Wodehouse (English) Paperback Book

Description: The Code of the Woosters by P.G. Wodehouse "To dive into a Wodehouse novel is to swim in some of the most elegantly turned phrases in the English language."-Ben Schott FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Follow the adventures of Bertie Wooster and his gentleman's gentleman, Jeeves, in this stunning new edition of one of the greatest comic novels in the English language. When Aunt Dahlia demands that Bertie Wooster help her dupe an antique dealer into selling her an 18th-century cow-creamer. Dahlia trumps Bertie's objections by threatening to sever his standing invitation to her house for lunch, an unthinkable prospect given Bertie's devotion to the cooking of her chef, Anatole. A web of complications grows as Bertie's pal Gussie Fink-Nottle asks for counseling in the matter of his impending marriage to Madeline Bassett. It seems Madeline isn't his only interest; Gussie also wants to study the effects of a full moon on the love life of newts. Added to the cast of eccentrics are Roderick Spode, leader of a fascist organization called the Saviors of Britain, who also wants that cow-creamer, and an unusual man of the cloth known as Rev. H. P. "Stinker" Pinker. As usual, butler Jeeves becomes a focal point for all the plots and ploys of these characters, and in the end only his cleverness can rescue Bertie from being arrested, lynched, and engaged by mistake Author Biography P. G. Wodehouse was born in England in 1881 and in 1955 became an American citizen. He published more than ninety books and had a successful career writing lyrics and musicals in collaboration with Jerome Kern, Guy Bolton, and Cole Porter, among others. Review 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 Review Text "Bertie and Jeeves are at their best in The Code of the Woosters." Review Quote "You should read Wodehouse when youre well, and when youre poorly; when youre travelling, and when youre not; when youre feeling clever, and when youre feeling utterly dim. Wodehouse always lifts your spirits, no matter how high they happen to be already." Details ISBN0393339815 Author P.G. Wodehouse Publisher W. W.
