Description:

The Code of the Woosters is widely regarded as one of the finest comic novels ever written — a masterpiece of English humour from P.G. Wodehouse. When the formidable Aunt Dahlia instructs her hapless nephew Bertie Wooster to steal an antique silver cow-creamer from a cantankerous country magistrate, Bertie finds himself dragged into a gloriously tangled web of engagements in peril, missing notebooks, fascist buffoons, and policemen's helmets. Spiralling from one catastrophe to the next with cheerful incompetence, Bertie is saved — as always — only by the magnificent cool-headedness of his valet Jeeves. Brilliantly plotted, effortlessly funny, and stuffed with some of the most delightful prose in the English language, this 1938 novel is the perfect starting point for anyone new to Wodehouse, and a treasured favourite for devoted fans. Timeless, joyous reading for adults.
