Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves: (Jeeves & Wooster)

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?

Reviews of Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves: (Jeeves & Wooster)

"It's dangerous to use the word genius to describe a writer, but I'll risk it with him" — John Humphrys "For as long as I'm immersed in a P.G. Wodehouse book, it's possible to keep the real world at bay and live in a far, far nicer, funnier one where happy endings are the order of the day" — Marian Keyes "Wodehouse always lifts your spirits, no matter how high they happen to be already" — Lynne Truss "The incomparable and timeless genius – perfect for readers of all ages, shapes and sizes!" — Kate Mosse "Not only the funniest English novelist who ever wrote but one of our finest stylists" — Susan Hill
