The literary allusions in this story are used to great effect. For example: Ronald Fish, the hero of the story, is in the grip of jealousy when his aunt enters the room. Ronald has not yet changed his tie for dinner.
“’My dear Ronald! That tie!’
Ronald Fish gazed at her lingeringly. It needed, he felt, but this. Poison was running through his veins, his world was rocking; green-eyed devils were shrieking mockery in his ears and along came blasted aunts babbling of ties. It was as if somebody had touched Othello on the arm as he poised the pillow and criticized the cut of his doublet” Sheer Genius!
With a cast of eccentric, likeable characters Wodehouse weaves his magic from page one with verve and gusto. He creates a feeling of such wonderful pleasure until he brings his plot to a satisfying and beautifully worked out conclusion.
My Recommendation:
Excellent plot, likeable characters and a superb style. Sheer pleasure! ( )
