Something Fresh - P.G. Wodehouse

Composed on the 29th of May in the year 2016, at 18:48. It was Sunday.

The summary from Amazon.ca is as follows: This is the first Blandings

novel, in which P.G. Wodehouse introduces us to the delightfully dotty Lord Emsworth, his bone-headed younger son, the Hon. Freddie Threepwood, his log-suffering secretary, the Efficient Baxter, and Beach the Blandings butler.

As Wodehouse wrote, 'without at least one imposter on the premises, Blandings Castle is never itself'. In Something Fresh there are two, each with an eye on a valuable Egyptian amulet which Lord Emsworth has acquired without quite realizing how it came into his pocket. But of course things get a lot more complicated than this.

It's worth noting that this story was written just over 100 years ago and it continues to stand up; think Downton Abbey or Upstairs Downstairs. I quite enjoyed this book and look forward to reading the others in the series.

Good Times!
