Synopses & Reviews
Can Bertie Wooster become Jeeves, at least in the problem-solving department? The odds aren't good, given the mess he makes of everybody's love life when he starts playing rescuer. Gussie Fink-Nottle, who's in love with Madeline Basset, and Tuppy Glossop, who's sometimes engaged to Angela Travers, are among Bertie's victims. Even chef Anatole and long-suffering Aunt Dahlia Travers feel the touch of Bertie's clumsy hand. How will Jeeves repair his master's damage? That's the question in P. G. Wodehouse's screamingly funny novel brilliantly dramatized by actor Martin Jarvis.
