Product Description

Product Description

Cyril Fothingay-Phipps, known to his friends as Barmy is persuaded to invest his modest fortune in the stage production of Sacrifice. But not everyone views his enterprise with such optimism, in fact if it had not been for the delectable Miss Dinty Moore, Barmy may well have given up any thoughts of being a theatrical tycoon.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not quite so barmy after all, 27 May 2009
This review is from: Barmy in Wonderland (Hardcover)
It's nice to see one of Bertie Wooster's Drones Club chums in a book of his own. This may not be Wodehouse's finest work but it rattles along merrily and the murky world of Broadway producers is charmingly brought to life. Barmy proves to be not so barmy after all, in business or in love. There are many worse things to do then spend a few evenings in with Barmy in Wonderland.

4.0 out of 5 stars Barmy in Wodehouseland, 28 Mar 2008
Cyril `Barmy' Fotheringay-Phipps has been despatched from his London flat and his patronage of the Drones Gentleman's Club at the insistence of his Uncle to learn the ropes of the Hotel business where due to some spirits and a chance meeting with actor Mervyn Potter a chalet is unfortunately burned to the ground.

On being discharged from his position as desk clerk Potter secures Barmy an opening as a Broadway producer which he accepts as he has fallen in love with the production secretary, one Dinty Moore.

It true Wodehouse fashion engagement fall like the leaves in August and the play `Sacrifice' changes hands more often than a clock maker. All in all not the greatest Wodehouse farce but it is quite a legacy to live up to. One of Wodehouse's poor days still greater than the best days of any of the writers whom can only beat him on any literacy list by virtue of their position in the alphabet.

Old master P. G. Wodehouse at his best, relating the story of Cyril "Barmy" Fotheringay-Phipps in US Theaterland. Lovely book.
