Wodehouse on Crime: A Dozen Tales of Fiendish Cunning
reviewed on + 3352 more book reviews


Book blurb says: Wodehouse was rarely able to keep his characters within the law. In this collection, the heroes and heroines indulge in gunplay, theft, assault with sharp instruments, arson, fraud, and extortion. Bertie Wooster, Jeeves, Lord Emsworth, any number of Mulliner friends and relations, and the arch-fiendess Roberta (Bobbie) Wickham stand shown at last in their true colors. Readers of Wodehouse will no doubt make themselves unbearable because they're laughing so hard.

I say: If you've never read Wodehouse before you are in for a treat. If you are, like me, addicted to him this book is for you. Laugh at yourself and everything else as you gallavant in Wodehouse's wonderfully wacky world.
