Goodbye to All Cats: (Wodehouse Pick-Me-Up)
English
By (author): P. G. Wodehouse
'Wodehouse is a tonic' - New Yorker.
A Wodehouse pick-me-up that'll lift your spirits, whatever your mood.
Cheaper and more effective than Valium.*
Offers relief from anxiety, raginess or an afternoon-long tendency towards the sour.*
Read when youre well and when youre poorly; when youre travelling, and when youre not; when youre feeling clever, and when youre feeling utterly dim.*
Whatever your mood, P. G. Wodehouse, widely acknowledged to be the best English comic novelist of the century*, is guaranteed to lift your spirits.
Why? Because Mr Wodehouses idyllic world can never stale. He has made a world for us to live in and delight in.*
How? You dont analyse such sunlit perfection, you just bask in its warmth and splendour.*
*Olivia Williams *Caitlin Moran *Lynne Truss *Sebastian Faulks *Evelyn Waugh *Stephen Fry
Ever on the lookout for a quick buck, a solid gold fortune, or at least a plausible little scrounge, the irrepressible Ukridge gives con men a bad name. Looking like an animated blob of mustard in his bright yellow raincoat, he invests time, passion and energy (but seldom actual cash) in a series of increasingly bizarre money-making schemes. Shares in an accident syndicate? Easily arranged. Finance for a dog college? It's yours.
And if you throw in some cats, flying unexpectedly from windows, and a young man trying ever-more-desperately to impress the family of his latest love, you get a medley of Wodehouse delights in which lunacy and comic exuberance reign supreme.
