A Mulliner collection

entertaining and fun

Read it for summer reading for the University of Texas and really enjoy it. Its easy to read and always entertaining. Wodehouse's stories are full of fun and silliness, not what I was expecting from a college world lit course. I would strongly recommend this book for anyone that enjoys frivolous British comedy.

Mr. Mulliner is delightfully silly

Mr. Mulliner drinks at a fishermans' bar, the Anglers Rest, where he tells stories about various and sundry relatives. No matter what the topic of discussion, Mr. Mulliner has a story on it and proceeds to enlighten his listeners. There's Buck-U-Uppo, a tonic recommended for elephant hunters but taken by a bishop and his pal. There's the man who sends for a course in farming by tape and mistakenly gets lessons in assertiveness. The plots all become terribly complicated in typical Wodehouse fashion. Since reading this, I have bought a collection of all P.G.Wodehouse's Mr. Mulliner stories. Next to Jeeves and Bertie, they are my favorites.
