Jeeves and the Wedding Bells

A gloriously witty novel from Sebastian Faulks using P.G. Wodehouse's much- loved characters, Jeeves and Wooster, fully authorised by the Wodehouse est ate. Bertie Wooster, recently returned from a very pleasurable soujourn in Canne s, finds himself at the stately home of Sir Henry Hackwood in Dorset. Berti e is more than familiar with the country house set-up: he is a veteran of t he cocktail hour and, thanks to Jeeves, his gentleman's personal gentleman, is never less than immaculately dressed. On this occasion, however, it is Jeeves who is to be seen in the drawing room while Bertie finds himself bel ow stairs - and he doesn't care for it at all. Love, as so often, is at the root of the confusion. Bertie, you see, has me t Georgiana on the Cte d'Azur. And though she is clever and he has a reput ation for foolish engagements, it looks as though this could be the real th ing. However, Georgiana is the ward of Sir Henry Hackwood and, in order to maintain his beloved Melbury Hall, the impoverished Sir Henry has struck a deal that would see Georgiana becoming Mrs Rupert Venables. Meanwhile, Pere grine 'Woody' Beeching, one of Bertie's oldest chums, is desperate to regai n the trust of his fiance Amelia, Sir Henry's tennis-mad daughter. But why would this necessitate Bertie having to pass himself off as a servant when he has never so much as made a cup of tea Could it be that the ever-loyal , Spinoza-loving Jeeves has an ulterior motive Evoking the sunlit days of a time gone by, Jeeves and the Wedding Bells is a delightfully witty story of mistaken identity, a midsummer village festival, a cricket match and love triumphant.
