Joy in the Morning: (Jeeves & Wooster)

A Jeeves and Wooster novel

Trapped in rural Steeple Bumpleigh, a man less stalwart than Bertie Wooster would probably give way at the knees.

The cast of characters:

• Florence Craye: Bertie's former fiancée, now engaged to someone else.
• 'Stilton' Cheesewright: Florence's new fiancé, who regards Bertie as nothing less than a snake in the grass.
• Edwin the Boy Scout: A menace disguised as a do-gooder, performing acts of kindness with sheer malevolence.

All of Bertie's forebodings are fully justified. In his attempts to:

• Oil the wheels of commerce
• Promote the course of true love
• Avoid the consequences of a vendetta

...he becomes the prey of all and sundry.

In fact, only Jeeves can save him.
