 Wilhemina 'Billie' Bennett, red-haired daughter of an American millionaire, loves golf, dogs, and Tennyson ¿ and is to marry Eustace Hignett, the weak, poetry-writing son of a famous English writer on theosophy. Enter San Marlowe, Eustace's tournament golfing cousin, and Jane Hubbard, Billie's big-game-hunting friend, and another romp in the inimitable Wodehouse style unfolds.Right ho, Jeeves: listen to more from P. G. Wodehouse.(P)1998 Blackstone Audio Inc. Literature & Fiction Satire Comedy

Critic Reviews

"Has many of the qualities of the author's more mature later novels (eccentric characters, clever farce, and inventive metaphors), as well as the additional charm of being a diamond in the rough....Frederick Davidson, as usual, adds to the fun with his energetic reading." (Library Journal)

Clever mix of amusing characters - all larger than life. Best of his books I’ve read since Jeeves and Wooster and lol many times.

What a gem, having devoured all available PGW this was very pleasant discovery when I thought I had exhausted the canon
