Wodehouse, P.G.: A Damsel in Distress. v1. 05 Aug. 07

Here's some P. G. Wodehouse that you might enjoy. I have yet to read this, but here are two quotes about this title:


"Good gad! Belpher Castle is a-dither with romance and intrigue. Wodehouse's usual twits are in full cry as they leap about the manicured landscape. And hovering close in the background are the ever-vigilant, poisonous aunts who spend their entire lives being aghast. There's plenty to be aghast about when the lord of the manor falls madly in love with an actress (huge intake of breath) named (another huge intake) Billie."

And some publishing history next:

"A Damsel in Distress was published in the U.S. on October 4, 1919 by George H. Doran, and then in the U.K. on October 17, 1919 by Herbert Jenkins, and it is a splendid example of early Wodehouse."

I hope you enjoy it.

Don
