An especially delightful edition in the Bertie and Jeeves cannon. I especially loved the subplot of the moustache because that is a frequent subplot in my marriage (consider me Jeeves on this issue).

Fantastic book. Jeeves and Wooster are an excellent pair and their stories always make me laugh. The dialogue is hilarious, the best part of these books.

I would say this is one of my favorites, but really, they all are.
I heart Bertie Wooster, what can I say?

Might be my second favorite Jeeves book so far? Bertie’s just the right mix of chivalrous and dumb in this.

My only complaint about the Bertie Wooster and Jeeves books is that I'm running out of them. This was a very funny tale in which both Bertie and his Aunt get themselves in truly unbelievable situations and it remains for Jeeves to set everything right. I wish that P.G. Wodehouse had used his time while he was being held by the Nazis to write dozens more of these books.

Bertie has been invited (commanded?) to Brinkley Court. He is not excited to go because some of the other guests include Percy, who had recently applied to Bertie for a thousand pounds to put on a play, Florence, formerly engaged to Bertie, and her current fiance, "Stilton" Cheesewright who definitely has it in for Bertie. Stilton is convinced that Bertie would like to once again be engaged to Florence (though nothing is further from the truth; on the other hand, Bertie does sort of end up engaged to her again.)
As usual, there are a series of misunderstandings and shenanigans that follow the Jeeves and Wooster formula but still somehow feels fresh.
