Described hard but fairly and honestly. Still an acceptable copy for any Wodehouse fan or collector. Here is a book that makes Wodehouse history: a volume in which reappear four of the greatest stars of the Wodehouse firmament - Clarence, ninth Earl of Emsworth; Mr Mulliner and the jovial company at the Angler's Rest; the indomitable Ukridge; and the greatest of all golfing raconteurs,the Oldest Member. Never before has Mr Wodehouse treated us to so dazzling an assembly of characters,of which the name of any one is synonymous with uproarious laughter.With so formidable a team P.G. could not fail to ring the bell,and that he has produced the maddest and merriest book of the year is as indisputable as it was inevitable.
