Description

Ben Schott's critically-acclaimed laugh-out-loud homage to PG Wodehouse.

'A masterpiece in every sense' Daily Mail

The Drones club's in peril. Gussie's in love. Spode's on the warpath. And His Majesty's Government needs a favour. Thank goodness Bertie Wooster is back!

From the mean streets of Mayfair to the scheming spires of Cambridge, prepare to meet a joyous cast of characters—chiselling painters and criminal bookies, eccentric philosophers and dodgy clairvoyants, appalling poets and pocket dictators, vexatious aunts and their vicious hounds.

Have we ever needed Jeeves and Wooster more?
