Product Description

Product Description

The first of three collections of P.G. Wodehouse stories in which Mr Mulliner, of the Angler's Rest, tells the tallest of tales - always, by chance, having the appropriate anecdote for any number of subjects.


From the Back Cover

A Mulliner collection

In the Angler’s Rest, drinking hot scotch and lemon, sits one of Wodehouse’s greatest raconteurs. Mr Mulliner, his vivid imagination lubricated by Miss Postlethwaite the barmaid, has fabulous stories to tell of the extraordinary behaviour of his far-flung family: In particular there’s Wilfred, inventor of Raven Gypsy face-cream and Snow of the Mountain Lotion, who lights on the formula for Buck-U-Uppo, a tonic given to elephants to enable them to face tigers with the necessary nonchalance. Its explosive effects on a shy young curate and then the higher clergy is gravely revealed. And there’s his cousin James, the detective-story writer, who has inherited a cottage more haunted than anything in his own imagination. And stuttering George the crossword whizz. And Isadore Zinzinheimer, head of the Bigger, Better & Brighter Motion Picture Company. Tall tales all – but among Wodehouse’s best. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars The sedate joys of the bar parlour of the Angler's Rest can never tire, 4 Nov 2009
By Fiction Fan (Madchester) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Meet Mr Mulliner (Everyman Wodehouse) (Hardcover)
P G Wodehouse is still arguably the best writer of comic fiction England has ever produced. What he wrote was funny, but the way he wrote was funnier still. If you haven't experienced his writing yet, you are very lucky to have it all before you. Jeeves and Wooster are legendary, Blandings Castle too, but the joys of Mr Mulliner's anecdotes from the bar parlour of the Angler's Rest are every bit as good. Start with Meet Mr Mulliner - containing the best comic short story of them all - Honeysuckle Cottage - and you will soon be seeking out the rest.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE AVUNCULAR MR MULLINER, 27 Sep 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: Meet Mr Mulliner (Everyman Wodehouse) (Hardcover)
If only British pubs were like this today! This collection of short stories is a series of anecdotes from Mr Mulliner, related to us as we relax in the Anglers' Rest; in those cheerful days when people wore tweeds and went to pubs just to talk over a quiet pint of stout & mild. Mr Mulliner holds our attention from start to finish and, happily, he's never interrupted by the loud dance music or plasma screens found in many of today's public houses.
Having enjoyed the Jeeves & Wooster stories, I felt the need to read more Wodehouse. However, it was with some apprehension that I chose Mr Mulliner. I knew nothing of him beforehand, but decided to take a blind punt and hope for the best. I was in luck. The stories are sufficiently different from Jeeves & Wooster to be fresh and exciting, whilst written in the same reliable style. As usual, the narratives tend to revolve around young men falling in love with jolly young gals; however, this doesn't become tedious, as the situations in which they find themselves never fail to interest.
Mr Mulliner is a real winner; you can buy with confidence!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Priceless stories, 29 Aug 2005
By superblues (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Meet Mr Mulliner (Everyman Wodehouse) (Hardcover)
This collection of short stories tells just some of the hilarious and unlikely adventures of Mr Mulliner's numerous relatives, as recounted by Mr Mulliner himself in the Angler's Rest. Whatever mishaps come the way of these characters, fate always conspires to bring about a happy ending. Amongst other things you will learn about the transforming effects of Mulliner's Buck-U-Uppo on the meek curate, Augustine Mulliner, and read what really happens should you happen to pull the communication-cord on a country train. Not to mention the sinister events when a writer of hardboiled detective novels unwisely makes a stay in Honeysuckle Cottage. These priceless stories are great entertainment if you have an idle moment or are looking for something light to read.
