Welcome to Litsy!

Bertie‘s doctor orders him to the countryside for rest and fresh air. It is anything but restful, though, especially with Aunt Dahlia around. As usual, Jeeves solves it all.

Just finished this. Wodehouse's last finished novel (published as The Cat-Nappers in the United States) and I loved it. As delightful as any of the other Jeeves/Wooster stories, I'm racking my brain for another author who published something as consistently funny and good in their 90's.

“To a man who has seen as much of life as I have, there is always something sinister in a book bound in limp purple leather.” Okay, you have to imagine that in Bertie Wooster‘s voice.

In Bertie's world, #Aunts are at the top of the hierarchy. Aunt Agatha and Aunt Dahlia rule their respective "kingdoms," and poor Bertie is just a pawn in their schemes (Aunt Dahlia) and directives (Aunt Agatha).

In the "The Mating Season" Esmond Haddock, the squire, is governed by 5 resident aunts. Such a terrifying circumstance leads Bertie to introspect "It is not aunts that matter, but the courage which one brings to them"

#funny #springflingreading Bertie and Jeeves have been funny friends since childhood. I can't resist funny P & P adaptations like Bridget Jones Diary and Austenland. The Rosie Project is a recent discovery thanks to my fellow Littens 😀

Bertie and Jeeves at it again! Between Bertie's perpetual fate to be caught in the middle and Aunt Dahlia's penchant to put him there, there are plenty of sticky situations in this one. Jeeves comes to the rescue as usual! Not my favorite Bertie & Jeeves, but a good one nevertheless.
