From the bustling streets of London to the charming manor of Belpher Castle, this delightful tale whisks you away on a rollercoaster of mishaps and merrymaking. Meet George Bevan, a lovelorn American composer, and Lady Maud Marsh, a spirited damsel yearning for adventure. When fate throws them together in a taxi cab, a whirlwind of mistaken identities and hilarious escapades ensues.


Amidst the elegant chaos, secrets simmer beneath the surface. Maud hides a forbidden love, while the inhabitants of Belpher Castle navigate their own tangled relationships. From a grumpy earl yearning for his rose garden to a scheming butler with a knack for gossip, each character adds a dash of eccentricity to the mix.


As George strives to win Maud's heart, the plot unfolds in a dizzying dance of misunderstandings and witty repartee. Prepare for side-splitting dialogues, charmingly absurd situations, and a touch of heartwarming revelation.

So buckle up, dear reader, and let Wodehouse's masterful comedic touch whisks you away on a delightful adventure filled with love, laughter, and the perfect sprinkle of British charm.

P. G. Wodehouse

Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (always known as ‘Plum’) wrote more than ninety novels and some three hundred short stories over 73 years. He is widely recognised as the greatest 20th-century writer of humour in the English language.

Perhaps best known for the escapades of Bertie Wooster and Jeeves, Wodehouse also created the world of Blandings Castle, home to Lord Emsworth and his cherished pig, the Empress of Blandings. His stories include gems concerning the irrepressible and disreputable Ukridge; Psmith, the elegant socialist; the ever-so-slightly-unscrupulous Fifth Earl of Ickenham, better known as Uncle Fred; and those related by Mr Mulliner, the charming raconteur of The Angler’s Rest, and the Oldest Member at the Golf Club.

In 1936 he was awarded the Mark Twain Prize for ‘having made an outstanding and lasting contribution to the happiness of the world’. He was made a Doctor of Letters by Oxford University in 1939 and in 1975, aged 93, he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II. He died shortly afterwards, on St Valentine’s Day.
