Product Description

Product Description

T. Paterson Frisby possessed twenty million dollars and loved every cent of them. His secretary, Berry Conway, possessed only a dud copper mine; and the Biscuit (Berry's schoolfriend) nothing but a title. The latter pair needed money, big money: but the former was fast on his feet. Frisking Frisby wouldn't be easy.


From the Publisher

Wodehouse’s idyllic world can never stale. He will continue to release future generations from captivity that may be more irksome than our own. He has made a world for us to live in and delight in." EVELYN WAUGH --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Little-known classic, 10 Sep 2002
By A Customer
This little gem concerns the efforts of two impecunious young men to keep their heads above water and find true love in post-war London. Wodehouse excels himself with a plot even more convoluted than usual, the characters (all of whom are new to this book) are well-realised, the Wodehouseian bon mots flow thick and fast and, well, what more is there to say? It's a surprise that nobody's picked this up for adaptation into a TV miniseries. The only flaw is that the ending, whilst being entirely satisfactory in terms of the plot, and extremely funny to boot, is rather abrupt. An extra chapter of denoument would have gone down well. However, this is but a minor quibble, and does not prevent Big Money from being exceptionally good even by the lofty standards of P.G. Wodehouse.

5.0 out of 5 stars Big Laughs in Valley Fields, 28 Nov 2007
In Adjacent houses in Wodehouse's suburban ideal Valley Field, Berry Conway and Lord Biskerton are residing. Berry is in love with Ann Moon whom is engaged to Lord Biskerton who in turn is in love with Ann's friend whom also lives in Valley Field. Berry is currently employed by Lord Biskerton's uncle T. Patterson Frisby whom is keen for the Biscuit to marry the very wealthy Miss Moon but equally keen to prize Berry's shares in the Dream Come True cooper mine away from him before he realises their incredible value. Mr Hoke and his college Captain Kelley are equally keen to financially gain from the cooper mine and are willing to hold up the majority of Valley Fields up at gun point to make dreams come true.

Only Wodehouse will be able to ensure the couples are righted and that the shares ensure they will never have to do anything as squalid as work to ensure there place in this, the best of all possible worlds. A Wodehouse comedy that stand alone and doesn't rely on his more famous characters to bring home the bacon. Another Wodehouse triumph.
