__________________________________________________ 'Peerless in its wit, elegance and silliness.’ Evening Standard BOOKS OF THE YEAR on Jeeves and the King of Clubs The Drones club’s in peril. Gussie’s in love. Spode's on the war-path. Oh, and His Majesty’s Government needs a favour. I say – it’s a good thing Bertie’s back! One man – and his Gentleman’s Personal Gentleman – valiantly set out to save the Drones, thwart Spode and nobly assist His Majesty’s Government. From the mean streets of Mayfair to the scheming spires of Cambridge we encounter a joyous cast of characters: chiselling painters and criminal bookies, eccentric philosophers and dodgy clairvoyantes, appalling poets and pocket dictators, vexatious aunts and their vicious hounds. Replete with a Times crossword, and classic Schottian endnotes, you hold in your hands the most blissfully entertaining means to while away an idle hour. P.G. Wodehouse has long been a panacea for the woes of the world... have we ever needed a new Jeeves and Wooster more? (Source: Google Boooks API)
