Jeeves and the King of Clubs

Jeeves and the King of Clubs

Summary

'Peerless in its wit, elegance and silliness.’ Evening Standard BOOKS OF THE YEAR

A Sunday Times PAPERBACK OF THE YEAR
_____

Storm clouds loom over Europe. Treason is afoot in the highest social circles. The very security of the nation is in peril. Jeeves, it transpires, has long been an agent of British Intelligence, but now His Majesty's Government must turn to the one man who can help . . . Bertie Wooster.

'A most thrilling return of Wodehouse's Jeeves and Wooster . . . it vibrates with the spirit and the rhythms of his heart.'

'Remarkably good . . . in its similes, pace and general zing, this yarn is eerily Wodehousian.'

Reviews

  • Peerless in its wit, elegance and silliness. It is the most successful homage to PG Wodehouse's Wooster and Jeeves stories to date. The footnotes are a joy of misplaced erudition. More of the same, please.
    Robert Fox, Evening Standard, BOOKS OF THE YEAR
