Typically convoluted Jeeves and Wooster story, set in Brinkley Court and featuring Bertie's Aunt Dahlia (Travers), the newt-loving Gussie Fink-Nottle, Madeline Bassett, Tuppy Glossop and Angela Travers.
This is the also the one that has Wooster unintentionally getting Gussie Fink-Nottle roaringly drunk before the latter has to distribute prizes at a school assembly, alongside Wooster managing to get himself engaged (again) while trying to sort out romantic difficulties between some of his childhood friends.
Leave it to Jeeves to sort everything out by the end!

Sometimes I think that this is the pinnacle of all the Jeeves and Wooster stories, if not Wodehouse at his best. It contains the brilliant set piece "The Prize-Giving at Market Snodsbury" which I have never tired of rereading.

Seriously, I love Jeeves & Wooster. If you've watched the BBC series, this storyline will be very familiar, but there's added detail in the book that didn't make it in the show (including a scene with Gussie on the roof xD). Always a joy!

I found this one funnier than the previous ones that I've read. Maybe it's about getting accustomed to the author and the world, or maybe this one is just funnier, but I had a lot of fun in Bertram's 'cunning' plans
