About Bertie Wooster Sees It Through

Product Description A Bertie and Jeeves classic, featuring novelist Florence Craye, a pearl necklace, and The Mystery of the Pink Crayfish. Bertie is in a genuine fix. Not only does Jeeves disapprove most strongly of Bertie's new mustache, but also, and more disturbingly, "Stilton" Cheesewright is in a jealous rage and threatens to tear him limb from limb. In Bertie Wooster Sees It Through, more than ever, Bertie needs the wisdom of the peerless Jeeves to extricate him from this perilous situation. Will Jeeves rally to the cause and rescue his employer once again? Review Christopher Buckley author of Little Green Men It is impossible to be unhappy while reading the adventures of Jeeves and Wooster. And I've tried. Kurt Andersen author of Turn of the Century Wodehouse can be extremely funny, of course, and Bertie and Jeeves are echt-Englishmen, but the surprising and surpassing pleasure of these books is their cheerful humanity. Reading Wodehouse always makes me feel good. David Foster Wallace author of Brief Interviews with Hideous Men Timelessly funny and mean. Evelyn Waugh Mr. Wodehouse's idyllic world can never stale. He will continue to release future generations from captivity that may be more irksome than our own. He has made a world for us to live in and delight in.
