Publisher's Summary

When Maud Marsh flings herself into George Bevan's cab in Piccadilly, he starts believing in damsels in distress. George traces his mysterious traveling companion to Belpher Castle, home of Lord Marshmoreton, where things become severely muddled. Maud's aunt, Lady Caroline Byng, wants Maud to marry Reggie, her stepson. Maud, meanwhile, is known to be in love with an unknown American she met in Wales. So when George turns up speaking American, a nasty case of mistaken identity breaks out. In fact, the scene is set for the perfect Wodehouse comedy of errors.

Classic Wodehouse

The is a typical Wodehouse novel full of mistaken identities, miscommunications and hilarity. It is a wonderful start for those just discover P.G. Wodehouse and sure to please anyone who is already a fan.
In my opinion there is no better narrator for any Wodehouse story than Jonathan Cecil. Head and shoulders above the rest, no one can portray an upper class nob better or with more humour than Cecil. His reading is so seamless in its manner and performance it feels just like he’s telling you these anecdotes of his life over tea. I only wish he had been able to narrate all of Wodehouse‘s books.

Highly entertaining!

if you enjoy an entertaining, funny, very 'English' sort of 'benign' story (as my mother calls them), then you'll love this book. The narrator is also out of this world!
