A gloriously witty novel from Sebastian Faulks using P.G. Wodehouse's much-loved characters, Jeeves and Wooster, fully authorised by the Wodehouse estate.
Sebastian Faulks was born in April 1953. Before becoming a full-time writer in 1991, he worked as a journalist. Sebastian Faulks's books include A Possible Life, Human Traces, On Green Dolphin Street, Engleby, Birdsong, A Week in December and Where My Heart Used to Beat.
It is a wonderfully happy book.
*Guardian*
This light-hearted romp is delightfully witty, packed with puns and
boasts a few phrases that Wodehouse himself would have deemed
top-hole. Splendid stuff.
*Sunday Mirror*
The finished product resembles, in all but cover, a traditional
Wodehousian yarn. Harking back to the summer of 1926, it is a
gentle, jolly tale – of farce and mistaken identity, of love lost
and found, of cricket matches, village fetes and the eccentric
upper classes.
*Telegraph*
At two memorable moments in Jeeves and the Wedding Bells I did
indeed laugh until I cried… Jeeves and the Wedding Bells is a
masterpiece… This is a pitch-perfect undertaking: proof, almost a
century after his debut, that Jeeves may not be so inimitable after
all.
*Spectator*
The plot is satisfyingly convoluted in the best Wodehouse tradition
. . . A genuine addition to my growing Wodehouse collection and
there is no higher tribute.
*Daily Express*
He catches the Wodehousean idiom, periphrasis, surreal similes and
bally silliness to a T, all done with love. Please commission a
dozen more, Hutchinson.
*Literary Review*
From the first page of Sebastian Faulks’s entirely delightful book
. . . we are transported to Wodehouse land. All the details, of
plot, of character, and of setting, are lovingly drawn. The hours
spent reading Jeeves and the Wedding Bells are pure pleasure.
*Financial Times*
Faulks has caught the mood and the dialogue perfectly
