What to expect
The hideous Walsingford Hall is home to an odd assortment of coves. The vile premises belong to Sir Buckstone, who is in a little financial difficulty. So for a little monetary help he puts a roof over the heads of people like (among others) Tubby Vanringham, the adoring slave of the coldhearted Miss Whittaker. His brother Joe has fallen head over heels for Sir Buck’s daughter Jane. She, however, only has eyes for Adrian Peake, who has already formed a liaison with the terrifying—but superbly wealthy—Princess Dwornitzchek. Is there no end to the confusion?
Critics Review
-
“You don’t analyze such sunlit perfection, you just bask in its warmth and splendor.”
Stephen Fry

“Wodehouse wrote the best English comic novels of the century.”
Independent (London)
-
“Wodehouse remains the chronicler of a certain kind of Englishness, that no one else has ever captured quite so sharply, or with quite as much wit and affection.”
Julian Fellowes, actor, novelist, film director, and screenwriter
