The Code of the Woosters

“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.

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

‘If you haven’t read PG Wodehouse in a hot bath with a snifter of whiskey and ideally a rubber duck for company, you haven’t lived […] A book that’s a sheer joy to read.’

Independent (40 books to read before you die)

The prose . . . is so gloriously funny you can relish the book over and over again.’

The Times (five best British comic novels)
