'There are moments,Jeeves,when one asks oneself,"Do trousers matter"'
'The mood will pass,sir.'
Aunt Dahlia has tasked Bertie with purloining an antique cow creamer from Totleigh Towers. In order to do so,Jeeves hatches a scheme whereby Bertie must charm the droopy and altogether unappealing Madeline and face the wrath of would-be dictator Roderick Spode. Though the prospect fills him with dread,when duty calls,Bertie will answer,for Aunt Dahlia will not be denied.
In a plot that swiftly becomes rife with mishaps,it is Jeeves who must extract his master from trouble. Again.

MEDIA REVIEWS
'The prose...is so gloriously funny you can relish the book over and over again.'- The Times
'Quite possibly the funniest book the master of comedy ever wrote.'- i paper (feel good books)
'A sheer joy to read.'- Yahoo: 40 best books to read before you die
'It's illegal to put together any list of the funniest books in English without including Wodehouse. (His) incredibly delicate descriptive touch (for example,of a particularly burly character: "as if Nature had intended to make a gorilla,and had changed its mind at the last moment") and sense of timing elevate a country house farce involving a policeman's hat,a cow-creamer and a would-be British fascist leader into something which glows with an effortless,sunny brilliance.'- Esquire
'To have one of his books in your hand is to possess by way of a pill that can relieve anxiety,rageiness,or an afternoon-long tendency towards the sour. Paper has rarely been put to better use than printing Wodehouse.'- Caitlin Moran
