Creative twists and turns to the story and everything resolved to satisfaction. Some moments which required a bit more suspension of belief on why people were doing what they were doing, but all in all I found this a fun ride
I always feel like these are just a bit too long. There's a point where I just lose interest in the plot. Maybe it's the writing.
This was my first ever Wodehouse/Jeeves and Wooster and I really didn’t know what to expect. When people tell me something is funny - especially old, historical stuff - I am deeply sceptical and usually disappointed…but this book did not disappoint at all. Not only hilarious but it completely explained all kinds of missing links for me in certain culturally repeated elements of humour obviously derived from Wodehouse, including ones my own parents often used. Should have read some Wodehouse sooner…and will definitely be reading more in the future.
Bertie's aunt Delia begs him to steal a silver cow creamer that is definitely not modern dutch from Sir Watkin Bassett and so the story begins. Bertie is embroiled, Jeeves is feudal and pensive, the ladies are all proposing marriage to everyone and a policeman's helmet is nicked. A very excellent Jeeves and Wooster 😍

Hilarious! Laugh out loud and the narrator Jonathan Cecil is amazing. Can't wait to read more Wooster highjinks and see how Jeeves gets him out of the next problem.
