Synopsis

Poor Archie--he is thrilled to marry his beloved Lucille, the daughter of a millionaire hotelier. But his lack of money, occupation, and tact displease his new father-in-law, and Archie finds it close to impossible to placate the "man- eating fish." The Indiscretions of Archie is part of the Overlook Collector's Wodehouse series, which will eventually contain all of the master's novels and stories, edited and reset on Scottish cream wove, acid-free paper. Each volume is the finest edition of the master ever published...and we're only two-thirds of the way there!

About this title

Review:

"The handsome bindings are only the cherry on top of what is already a cake without compare." (Evening Standard)

"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)

"He exhausts superlatives" (Stephen Fry)

Book Description:

The book tells the story of impoverished, embarrassment-prone Drone Archibald "Archie" Moffam (pronounced "Moom"), and his difficult relationship with art-collecting, hotel-owning millionaire father-in-law Daniel Brewster, father of Archie's new bride Lucille. Archie's attempts to ingratiate himself with Brewster only get him further into trouble.
