Publisher's Summary
This standalone novel is another fine example of the wonderful, zany humor of P. G. Wodehouse.
Imperious American widow Beatrice Chavender is visiting her sister's country home near London when a most unfortunate thing happens: She takes a bite of inferior ham while having her breakfast. Soon everyone around her is suffering the consequences - her sister, her brother-in-law, the butler, poor Sally, Sally's fiancé, and even Mrs. Chavender's ex-fiancé, "Ham King" J. B. Duff.
Don't miss this wild romp from the acknowledged master of British humor.
Rolling on the floor laughing my @$$ off!
P.G Wodehouse has a way with words! I wish I had a print copy because I would be happy to share some of the more droll lines and observations. This is timeless humor. The perfect antidote for a "terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day." Simon Vance is the perfect narrator for this book because he has mastered both English and American accents. Good thing the library has plenty of Wodehouse on tap.
Four and a half stars for a quick wit, a keen observer of people and their foibles and a most prodigious use of language.
