Spun a wonderful Wodehouse tale with high jinx and silly antics and that turn tale ending that you don't see coming - What!! LOL!

My first Wodehouse, revisited after 30 years. Another excellent story of rich Americans in an English stately home, with the familiar refrain of the criminal classes (the Molloys and Chimp Twist) competing to see who can steal a priceless string of pearls, which of course turn out to be fake anyway, while the hero finds true love and tries to extricate himself from his rocky engagement to a hockey international. Features the movie studio boss Ivor Lewellyn with an abrupt change of character, now looking more like a kindly dutch uncle in the Galahad style rather than the abrasive movie mogul of earlier works.

An easy and well structured read - hard to believe it was written by a 90 year old.
