Representaion Concering Books Joy in the Morning (Jeeves #8)
Trapped in rural Steeple Bumpleigh, a man less stalwart than Bertie Wooster would probably give way at the knees, for among those present were Florence Craye, to whom Bertie had once been engaged; her new fiance "Stilton" Cheesewright, who sees Bertie as a snake in the grass; and that biggest blot on the landscape, Edwin the Boy Scout, who is busy doing acts of kindness out of sheer malevolence. All of Bertie's forebodings are fully justified, for in his efforts to oil the wheels of commerce, promote the course of true love, and avoid the consequences of a vendetta, he becomes the prey of all and sundry. In fact only Jeeves can save him.Specify Books During Joy in the Morning (Jeeves #8)

The 2012 re-read:Bertie Wooster, with Jeeves in tow, is dragooned into visiting Steeple Bumpleigh, home of Aunt Agatha and her husband, Lord Worplesdon. Bertie soon walks into a web of broken engagements, arson, and delightfully horrible misunderstandings, including an engagement to Florence Craye. Can Jeeves extricate Wooster from what will be known as The Steeple Bumpleigh Horror?Of course he can. See how Jeeves' head bulges out in the back? That's where his extra brain power comes from.ThisThe other day, as I was walking along the beach in the frightfully early morning - when both man and beast ought quite to be tucking the old blankets under the pointy end of the old bean - there was a rather fit young lady putting quite some stride into her step not a few yards ahead of me.Unfortunately, I had just gotten up to the part of the story at which Bertie is discoursing with Boko concerning the nature of women and to what extent one can rely on what they say when they are cross with
Knotted locks and knitted socks...Bertie isnt keen on visiting Steeple Bumpleigh, home to Aunt Agatha, the most terrifying of his aunts. But Jeeves is keen to do a spot of fishing and Uncle Percy needs Jeeves help in finding a way to pull off a big business deal, so Bertie gives in gracefully. After all, Aunt Agatha is off elsewhere on a visit, ex-fiancée Florence Craye can be no threat to his bachelorhood now that shes engaged to DArcy Stilton Cheesewright, and while his young cousin Edwin is

Every time I read Wodehouse I wonder how psychiatrists/psychologists have not yet understood the panacea contained in his works. Particularly Jeeves and Wooster stories. Read it in the morning if you are feeling low and, yes, joy cometh in the morning! How Wodehouse is able to make you laugh at every single phrase (and I mean it literally) is a mystery no one will ever unveil. It is unimportant, anyway. What matters is that the powerful doses of giggles and loud laughs his works afford will cure
"An unfortunate concatenation of circumstances" puts Bertie Wooster once again "in the soup" re marriage proposals (with Lady Florence Craye this time) and he requires the sharp mind of the faithfull Jeeves to extricate self and to aid a couple of young eggs into the bargain ( the accident prone Boko Fiddleworth and the perky Zenobia Nobby Hopgood) . Apparently, the bean functions better on a diet of fish (it's the phosphorus, you know) and the idyllic location of Steeple Bumbleigh provides good
My first Wodehouse. Im truly sorry I didnt pick up this author earlier. This book was just a delight to listen to; a funny and entertaining comedy of manners. Ill certainly read the rest of these and recommend them to anyone who enjoys solid British humor.Wodehouses chronicling of the daily adventures of Bertie Wooster and his valet Jeeves in pre-war, high society England is sharp, witty and timeless. Berties a well-intentioned but foppish member of the Idle Rich who is always in some type of
After recently reading Schotts tribute Jeeves and the King of Clubs, I plunged back into the real article and, once again, find PGW an absolute pleasure...
