Bertie Wooster.A most thrilling return of Wodehouses Jeeves and Wooster . . . it vibrates with the spirit and the rhythms of his heart.Remarkably good . . . in its similes, pace and general zing, this yarn is eerily Wodehousian.

Recenzje

Peerless in its wit, elegance and silliness. It is the most successful homage to PG Wodehouse's Wooster and Jeeves stories to date. The footnotes are a joy of misplaced erudition. More of the same, please. Robert Fox Evening Standard, BOOKS OF THE YEAR
