Meet Mr Mulliner

Summary

Classic Mulliner stories from P.G. Wodehouse, the great comic writer of the 20th century

Sitting in the Angler's Rest, drinking hot scotch and lemon, Mr Mulliner has fabulous stories to tell of his extraordinary behaviour and far-flung family. This includes Wilfred, whose formula for Buck-U-Uppo enables elephants to face tigers with the necessary nonchalance.

'The best English comic novelist of the century.' - Sebastian Faulks

Reviews

  • To have one of his books in your hand is to possess by way of a pill that can relieve anxiety, rageiness, or an afternoon-long tendency towards the sour. Paper has rarely been put to better use than printing Wodehouse.
