Product Description

Product Description

This is a "Jeeves and Wooster" novel. Bertie Wooster looks pretty stylish in his new Tyrolean hat - or so he thinks: others, notably Jeeves, disagree. But when Bertie embarks on an errand of mercy to Totleigh Towers, things get quickly out of control and he's going to need all the help Jeeves can provide. There are good eggs present, such as Gussie Fink-Nottle and the Rev. 'Stinker' Pinker. But there also is Sir Watkyn Bassett J.P., enemy of all the Woosters hold dear, to say nothing of his daughter Madeline and Roderick Spode, now raised to the peerage. And Major Brabazon Plank, the peppery explorer, who wants to lay Bertie out cold. Thank goodness for the intervention of Chief Inspector Witherspoon of Scotland Yard - but is this gentleman all he seems? --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Funny, Witty, Perfect for a long drive, 12 April 2002
By Barry Cunningham "bazc" (Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves: A BBC Radio 4 Full-cast Dramatisation (BBC Radio Collection) (Audio Cassette)
I came late to Jeeves and Bertie but when I did I loved it. I am a big fan of good audiobooks but not normally of adaptations. But this BBC Radio production is terrific. Michael Horden is suitably aloof and commanding, conveying entire paragrpahs in a single "Sir". Richard Briers is simply wonderful as Bertie and the whole thing is a wonderful way to pass a long car journey or even a long commute. Highly reccommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Wodehouse giving classic Wooster, 20 Jan 2004
By Paul Donovan (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves (Paperback)
"Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves" is an example of Wodehouse at his best - to paraphrase Evelyn Waugh, cramming three original similes onto every page. The book continues the saga of the Wooster / Bassett / Fink-Nottle "love triangle", and Wodehouse as ever handles the problem of filling in new readers with aplomb (though it is undoubtedly better to have read the preceding volumes - after all, why wouldn't you want to read the preceding volumes?). Bertie is once again at Totleigh Towers where "only man is vile", desperately trying to avoid imprisonment, dismemberment at the hands of Spode (now under the alias of Lord Sidcup) while failing spectacularly to act as raisonneur to the Madeleine / Gussie relationship -which now appears to be floundering on the insurmountable obstacle of vegetarianism. Bertie gets some good one-liners, and the dialogue is excellent as always. Though writen post-war, after what many consider the Wodehouse golden-age of the 1930s, this remains an example of Wodehouse at his best.

5.0 out of 5 stars The continuing saga of Gussie and Madeline-wonderful, 22 Nov 2000
By Mrs. K. A. Wheatley "katywheatley" (Leicester, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves (Paperback)
It is astonishing to me that someone so attached to bachelorhood as Bertie has been engaged to every female under the age of fifty in Britain and in any dealings with women this is where his worst nightmares lie! Women see him as a reliable stand in when their preferred relationships breakdown. Madeline is the worst of the lot. She is so romantic that she makes you want to vomit and you share Bertie's distress at the impending nuptials and how to avoid them in this wonderfully funny book.
