C. requested that we market this book. Probably because nothing's made her laugh more or harder in her life. I nearly concur, though the tub of soil is a contender for that prize.
















The setup is simple: Bertie Wooster, English aristocrat, tries to solve the engagement problems of his friends and family. When Bertie only makes things worse, his butler Jeeves--ever the calm, patient, respected thinker--must intervene.

Think Jane Austen's themes meets Charles Dickens' caricatures meets a sort of verbal vaudeville, all told in a 20th century English vernacular. The joy of this book, along with the interconnecting incidents and jokes, is to read it aloud and discover voices for each character. Then one perceives Bertie's speech and Jeeves' speech, and they way their dialogue works together.

Be pleased to read more about the author and the kind of books he wrote here.
