Sally Gives a Party

fetching the rest…

A Damsel in Distress
You’ll enjoy the absurdly elegant tangle at Belpher Castle, where George Bevan’s romantic intentions keep colliding with Lord Marshmoreton’s rose garden obsession and the family’s plotting. It’s light, very funny Wodehouse, and pleasantly theatrical, though the romance matters less than the beautifully timed misunderstandings.
A Gentleman of Leisure
Early Wodehouse, before Jeeves, so the jokes are a bit less dense, but watching Jimmy Pitt bet he can burgle a house and then acquire an actual burglar as a devoted sidekick is good fun. Light, silly, fine company for a lazy weekend afternoon.
A Prefect’s Uncle
Early Wodehouse, before Jeeves, so you get a cheerful school story where a prefect's uncle turns up as a pupil younger than he is, plus a lot of cricket. Gentle fun if you like that world; if cricket bores you, this will test your patience.
