5.0 out of 5 stars Timeless Wodehouse, 28 Mar 2008
`Cocktail Time' is the third Uncle Fred novel and finds him spreading sweetness and light as he had as Roderick Glossop at Blandings in `Uncle Fred in Springtime' and as Major Plank at Ashenden Manor in `Uncle Dynamite'.

This time Uncle Fred is acting under his own name due to the hearts he needs to join including his wife's half brother Sir Raymond Dunstable and literary agent Barbara Crowe, his godson Jonathon Twistleton Pearce and Bunny Farringdon and Phoebe Wisdom and Albert Peasemarch, whom we met previously as the steward on `The Luck of the Bodkins'. Also from `The Luck of the Bodkins' is movie mogul Ikey Llewellyn whom is mentioned in the book as the Superba-Llewellyn proprietor whom has offered a substantial sum for the movie rights to `Cocktail Time' a novel Sir Raymond wrote anonymously to avoid adverse publicity due to the risqué content of the tome.

A letter Cosmo Wisdom wrote would prove Sir Raymond is the author of `Cocktail Time' if Uncle Fred can keep it from the clutches of confidence trickster Oily Carlisle and his aggressive wife Gertie whom we met previously in `Hot Water'. It's a real meeting of the Wodehouse clans which only Uncle Fred can bring to a universally happy ending.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's got Lord Ickenham in it. 'Nuff said., 22 Sep 2002
By J. E. Mcgraw "jamesmcg" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Whilst this book isn't as good as the likes of Uncle Fred in the Springtime (which also features the ebullient Lord Ickenham), it is still an example of Wodehouse in fine form. An almost completely inconsequential plot combines with observations on matrimony, the course of true love, the nature of swans when disturbed from their slumbers, the British publishing industry and, of course, knitting to provide yet more excellent light reading.
