About this title

Review:

Sublime comic genius.--Ben Elton

There are eleven tales in this book and each is the best.

The works of Wodehouse continue on their unique way, unmarked by the passage of time.--Kingsley Amis

Wodehouse is the funniest writer--that is, the most resourceful and unflagging deliverer of fun--that the human race, a glum crowd, has yet produced.

A brilliantly funny writer--perhaps the most consistently funny the English language has yet produced.

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

You should read Wodehouse when you're well, and when you're poorly; when you're travelling, and when you're not; when you're feeling clever, and when you're feeling utterly dim. Wodehouse always lifts your spirits, no matter how high they happen to be already.--Lynne Truss

You don't analyze such sunlit perfection, you just bask in its warmth and splendor.--Stephen Fry
