"Faulksie nails it again" in this pastiche novel featuring Jeeves and Bertie "evoking rather than imitating" Wodehouse "but doing so in perfect pitch" (Booklist, starred review).

P.G. Wodehouse documented the lives of the inimitable Jeeves and Wooster for nearly sixty years, from their first appearance in the 1915 short story "Extricating Young Gus" to Wodehouse's final novel, Aunts Aren't Gentlemen, in 1974. These fictional single men were two of the greatest creations of a novelist widely proclaimed to be the finest comic English writer by critics and fans alike. With the approval of the Wodehouse estate, acclaimed novelist Sebastian Faulks brings these two back to life for their legion of fans.

Bertie, nursing a bit of heartbreak over the recent engagement of one Georgina Meadowes, agrees to "help" his old friend Peregrine "Woody" Beeching, whose own romance is foundering, which means an outing to the English countryside. Almost immediately, things go awry and the simple plan quickly becomes complicated. In a role reversal, Jeeves ends up impersonating one Lord Etringham, while Bertie pretends to be Jeeves' manservant -- and this all happens under the same roof as the now affianced Ms. Meadowes. From there the plot becomes even more hilarious, in a brilliantly conceived, seamlessly written comic work worthy of the master himself.

"This Faulks certainly knows his stuff when it comes to homaging, let me tell you. Dashed if most of the time I didn't think I was reading the echt thing." -- Christopher Buckley, New York Times Book Review"

"Entirely delightful... if, like me, you are a Wodehouse addict, you will undoubtedly want to buy three copies for your friends' Christmas stocking"." -- A. N. Wilson, Financial Times
