Jeeves in the Offing
by P.G. Wodehouse
Blurb:
Jeeves is on holiday in Herne Bay, and while he’s away the world caves in on Bertie Wooster. For a start, he’s astonished to read in The Times of his engagement to the mercurial Bobbie Wickham. Then at Brinkley Court, his Aunt Dahlia’s establishment, he finds his awful former head master in attendance ready to award the prizes at Market Snodsbury Grammar School.And finally the Brinkley butler turns out for reasons of his own to be Bertie’s nemesis in disguise, the brain surgeon Sir Roderick Glossop. With all occasions informing against him, Bertie has to hightail it to Herne Bay to liberate Jeeves from his shrimping net. And after that, the fun really starts.
My Reaction:
It's been a while since we finished this one, and it's already beginning to dim in my memory... I'm sure we'd read this before (partly because we own a nice, hardback copy that we bought ourselves), but all these books tend to run together in my mind.
From what I remember, this was a good one, but not one of the very best, since Jeeves is away for much of the book. Still, a fun read!
(Shared read with Donald, as usual for Wodehouse.)
