A comical romp of an adventure involving Jeeves, Wooster and 'Bicky', whose uncle, the Duke of Chiswick, has the potential to be a wealthy benefactor to his nephew. Unfortunately, the Duke is what's known in the right circles as a 'hard-boiled egg' - ie 'notoriously the most prudent spender in England'. When Bicky contacts Bertie, our jaunt begins, and hilarity and laughs, courtesy of P. G. Wodehouse and Martin Jarvis, are bound to follow.

Jeeves Exerts the Old Cerebellum 2. No Wedding Bells For Bingo 3. Aunt Agatha Speaks Her Mi...

A typically shambolic and hilarious romp from the inimitable Jeeves and Wooster, who find themselves embroiled in college initiation rites in this story of students, aunts and three rather irate cats. Throw into the heady mix of comedic fancy a luncheon appointment with Sir Roderick, and the scene is set for a farcical showdown of epic proportions....
