Clarence, ninth Earl of Emsworth, sank back in his chair looking like the good old man in a Victorian melodrama whose mortgage the villain has just foreclosed. He felt the absence of that gentle glow which customarily accompained the departure of one of his sisters. His brain worked at a speed consistent with the approach of danger. Lord Emsworth needed Galahad. For a while it is touch and go. There are tricky corners to be rounded, and assorted godsons, impostors and pretty girls to be paired off. Fortunately, many years membership of the old Pelican Club means the Hon. Galahad Threepwood is able to keep cool, stiffen his upper lip and always think a shade quicker that the next man.

Review:

"It's dangerous to use the word genius to describe a writer, but I'll risk it with him" (John Humphrys)

"For as long as I'm immersed in a P.G. Wodehouse book, it's possible to keep the real world at bay and live in a far, far nicer, funnier one where happy endings are the order of the day" (Marian Keyes)

"Wodehouse always lifts your spirits, no matter how high they happen to be already" (Lynne Truss)

"The incomparable and timeless genius - perfect for readers of all ages, shapes and sizes!" (Kate Mosse)

"Not only the funniest English novelist who ever wrote but one of our finest stylists" (Susan Hill)

Book Description:

'You don't analyse such sunlit perfection, you just bask in its warmth and splendour.' Stephen Fry
