Book Description

Publication Date: October 29, 2009 | Series: Collector's Wodehouse

Cyril Fothingay-Phipps, known to his friends as Barmy is persuaded to invest his modest fortune in the stage production of Sacrifice. But not everyone views his enterprise with such optimism, in fact if it had not been for the delectable Miss Dinty Moore, Barmy may well have given up any thoughts of being a theatrical tycoon.

This review is from: Barmy in Wonderland (Collector's Wodehouse) (Hardcover)

Another incomparable hit! Starts off slowly, with a lot of clever literary references in the dialogue. Then complications set in, and the ending has wonderful twists which extract Barmy and his girl from the scheming skunks. Involves plagiarism and big-time, high-stakes theatre production.

I LOVE P.G. Wodehouse, despite his bizarre activities during WW II, and this novel is probably the funniest of his I've ever read, including all of Bertie and Jeeves. One is simply laughing hysterically from beginning to end!
