Playing cards and getting drunk, he uses all his cunning and genial subterfuge to deal with the police, clergy, and officers who chivy him toward battle.Cecil Parrott's vibrant translation conveys the brilliant irreverence of this classic about a hapless Everyman caught in a vast bureaucratic machine.

    Then Archie develops his knack for getting in deeper and deeper with Father Brewster, with hilarious results. Next, Jimmy Pitt falls in love, befriends a burglar, and burgles a policeman's home; and that's only the beginning of this typically Wodehousian laugh riot that ends in Dreever Castle, amid a dizzying and dizzy cast of misunderstood lovers, detectives, imposters, criminals, and the obligatory scheming elderly aunts. When Kirk Winfield marries his true love Ruth, it seems like the fade-out in a typical Wodehouse farce, but the happy ending turns out anything but when Ruth's pain-in-the-seat Aunt Ruth, a know-it-all writer, decides to dispense marital advice, things go from great to worse, and more laughs follow. Don't miss this bargain collection of three Wodehouse classics at one low price.
