5.0 out of 5 stars Eccentric, quaint and hilarious!, 28 Oct 2000
By A Customer
P.G.Wodenhouse's brilliant farce on love, etiquette and cats, takes you back to the days of old, when manners were everything. Freddie Widgeon, the disgraceful hero of the tale may be suave, sophisticated and 'a dashed fascinating' chap, but can he pass the tests set by his beloved's menagerie of beasts? The scene is set when, upon arriving at his intended's family home - aptly named Matcham Scrathings - he hurls a cat from the window of his room and it lands on top of the master of the household. From that point on, Freddie is doomed and no amount of ingratiating behaviour can save him from his fate of complete and utter disaster, as the animals conspire to show him up in the most unfavourable light.

Anyone who loves animals and appreciates a bit of good, old-fashioned, English humour, will laugh out loud at this hilarious and touching little book. Eccentric, quaint and the funniest thing I've read for a long time!

5.0 out of 5 stars Short and sweet, 18 Dec 2004
By Sally-Anne "mynameissally" (Leicestershire, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
Another of P G Wodehouse's unlucky, love-lorn heroes runs the gauntlet of disasters and utterly fails to impress the family of his beloved - or looked at another way, impresses them most deeply in a way he did not intend. The whole sorry tale of how Freddie Widgeon inadvertently clobbers his true love's father, the master of Matcham Scratchings, over the head with a cat, on more than one occasion, is related to an egg and a bean by a crumpet at Freddie's club. It's all very eccentric and witty just as you'd expect of Mr Wodehouse.

The story is very enjoyable but I think it's worth pointing out that this is not what most of us think of these days, as a book. It is a large sheet of paper, somewhat larger than a sheet of A3, about 15 inches by about 25 inches. The story is printed landscape orientation both sides, in columns and the page is folded concertina fashion, 6 folds across and this is then folded in half like a street map, only without the stiff cover. The columns within the folds have page numbers - 25 "pages" with a narrow column on each. I estimate that the whole "book" is just over 6,000 words in all. A slow reader like me can read the whole thing in about half an hour. The idea of these Travelman "books" is that they're small and disposable and good to pass a boring period waiting for a connection for example. I think it's worth mentioning this because the person who bought this book for me was quite surprised at its unexpected format. I was happy enough to receive it in any case and I think it's a very good idea to produce short stories in this handy pocket size.

I recommend this neat morsel to those who travel.
