You might enjoy this book if you love witty, light-hearted comedy set in the 1930s English aristocratic world. It marvellously combines slapstick humour with clever dialogue and a charmingly inept protagonist, offering a delightful escape into a world of high jinks and hilarious misunderstandings.

The Code of the Woosters

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

A brand new look for Wodehouse in Penguin, alongside the 120th anniversary publication of his very first novel, The Pothunters.

'There are moments, Jeeves, when one asks oneself, "Do trousers matter?"'

'The mood will pass, sir.'

Aunt Dahlia has tasked Bertie with purloining an antique cow creamer from Totleigh Towers. In order to do so, Jeeves hatches a scheme whereby Bertie must charm the droopy and altogether unappealing Madeline and face the wrath of would-be dictator Roderick Spode. Though the prospect fills him with dread, when duty calls, Bertie will answer, for Aunt Dahlia will not be denied.

In a plot that swiftly becomes rife with mishaps, it is Jeeves who must extract his master from trouble. Again.
