By P. G. Wodehouse

Categories: Humor & Entertainment, Literature & Fiction

Walsingford Hall, an ugly, decaying country house, sits at the center of Summer Moonshine (1937), and its hard-up owner is desperate to sell it. His daughter Jane, the young playwright Joe Vanringham and Joe's scheming stepmother, the Princess von und zu Dwornitzchek, all have a stake in who buys the house. Paying guests and an unsuitable fiancé add to the tangle, and Jane has to sort out her own romance along the way.

• Fareed Zakaria: “P. G. Wodehouse. I’ve read almost everything he wrote. He once explained that there were two ways of writing novels. “One is mine, making the thing a sort of musical comedy without music, ignoring real life altogether; the other is going right down deep into life and not caring a damn.” He did the former better than almost anyone.”
