I love the way this man writes. I need more of his books and more authors who write in this style in my life! One thing that I see a lot in the 3 books of his that I own is the individualistic spirit and fairy-tale endings; though I'm sure that living through both World Wars developed the desire to write books with happy endings instead of sad ones.
My Synopsis: In typical Wodehouse fashion, the characters all have their quirks, interesting pasts, and the book is filled with the mandatory Wodehouse Cast of butlers, aunts, younger sons, detectives, lovers, and imposters. The center of everyone's attention? A Scarab- a Cheops of the Fourth Dynasty, to be exact- which has been stolen from a certain Mr. Peters who is now offering a 1,000£ to the person who retrieves it!
Favorite Quote: WANTED: Young man of good appearence, who is poor and reckless, to undertake a delicate and dangerous enterprise... Good pay for right man.
