From the master of English comic fiction comes Summer Moonshine, a gloriously farcical novel set against the backdrop of a crumbling English country house and the wonderfully absurd ambitions of its owner. Sir Buckstone Abbott is desperate to sell the dilapidated Walsingford Hall — a monstrous pile of bricks that appalls all who lay eyes on it — yet his plans are thrown into magnificent disarray when a cast of hilariously mismatched characters, including a romantically entangled American princess, a hapless secretary, and a thoroughly disagreeable rival, converge upon the estate with agendas entirely at odds with his own. P. G. Wodehouse, at the height of his comedic powers, orchestrates this ensemble of eccentrics with the precision of a seasoned conductor, weaving mistaken intentions, romantic misadventures, and social pretension into a plot of irresistible momentum. His prose is effortlessly elegant, underpinned by a satirical wit that skewers the English class system with affectionate ruthlessness. Summer Moonshine stands as a testament to Wodehouse's singular genius — a novel that reduces its reader, as its own publishers promise, to tears of delight, and leaves one wondering how a man so hopelessly entangled in absurdity could ever find his way out.
