One of the best Jeeves-and-Wooster books: perfectly sustained tone, gorgeously intricate plot.

Read this for my Classics challenge. Wodehouse is not Agatha Christie at all. Enjoyed this to a certain extent, poor women though, so weird that they can think......When reading any classics set during the early 1900s it's expected but still not fun to read.

PG Wodehouse is always fun, and the silver cow creamer is one of his best plot devices.
Absolutely brilliant. Haven't had such good laugh out loud moments in a long time. Highly highly recommend.
What a silly delight! There was a tiny too much repetition (for humor) that I could have done without, but truly a funny and fun book with low stakes and hilarious characters.

Bertie Wooster is tasked with stealing a silver cow creamer for his aunt, but things quickly spiral into a mess of mistaken identities, broken engagements and stolen notebooks.
I went into this book knowing the story having seen the play, I feel like, had I not seen the play I would have been a bit confused. There are quite a few characters and they all move around very quickly within the story.
The story itself is also quite fast-paced, with everyone either fooling someone, lying, or pretending to be someone they're not. It’s a bit all over the place... but in a good way.
