Description:

Joy in the Morning is widely regarded by many devoted readers as P.G. Wodehouse's masterpiece — a Jeeves and Wooster novel of quite spectacular comic perfection. Poor Bertie Wooster finds himself stranded in the idyllic but treacherous village of Steeple Bumpleigh, home to the dreaded Aunt Agatha and her fearsome husband Lord Worplesdon. To make matters considerably worse, also present are Florence Craye — Bertie's alarmingly intellectual former fiancée — her new and thoroughly belligerent intended, Stilton Cheesewright, and the diabolically "helpful" Edwin the Boy Scout. With romantic entanglements multiplying, vendettas simmering, and a high-stakes business deal at risk of collapse, only the unflappable genius of Jeeves can possibly salvage the situation. Written during Wodehouse's wartime internment, this novel radiates pure, irresistible sunshine. An absolute joy from first page to last. For adult readers.
