"Ronald Psmith ('the 'p' is silent, as in pshrimp') is always willing to help a damsel in distress.

A friend gave me this book over thirty years ago in college and it remains among my favorites. It features the well-known word love of the author and the dry, keen observations of something like an ethologist, studying a charming, quirky species of waterfowl.

wodehouse as usual
This is another wodehouse book that doesn't disappoint. grips you from begining to end and will have you crying with laughter. wodehouse keeps your attention with every sentence(sometimes you need to read something twice to really get it) . intertwining plot that keeps you surprised and entertained.the characters are all uniques. Lord Emsworth eat sleeps and doesnt stop talking about his garden and his never-ending disagreements with his gardener. baxter is a typical secretary that's so too organized and efficient for his own good. and of course psmith(his name says a lot about him - "pmith, the p is silent") . he'll do something outrageous just to see what happnes or because he knows he can get away with it.he always gets what he wants.if you just want to get away to a fun place for a while this is a great choice.

Another fun romp
If you're a fan of Wodehouse, this book does not disappoint. It's got the following great Wodehouse elements: 1. two young couples who are in love and broke; 2. a doddering earl; 3. A diamond necklace; 4. A big drafty mansion; 5. hilarious plot twists. What more can be said without giving it all away?
