When the absent-minded Earl of Emsworth wanders off with the pride of his scarab collection, American millionaire J. Preston Peters is willing to pay $5000 to the person who can get it back for him. Discretion is necessary since Peters’ daughter is engaged to Emsworth’s son. Joan Valentine and Ashe Marson both decide to go after the reward—she as Aline Peter’s ladies maid, and he as Mr. Peter’s valet—and they all end up at Blandings Castle. But is it possible for anyone to steal back the scarab with The Efficient Baxter ever vigilant? This is, IMHO, one of Wodehouse’s funniest novels. –Debra Lynn
Customer Reviews
Amateur Reader, Expert Book!
The reader transports me back to elementary school, sitting around while Ms Teach turns the pages of story time. With all due respect, the reader rivals the professional recordings you can find of this book, even without a British accent.
Yet, make no mistake: this book is solid gold and should be considered Wodehouse required reading! I love it! I love the fresh characters, the adventure and the complex varieties of romance featured.
All Jeeves lovers are urged to give this book a read & listen!
