Chronicle Toward Books Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves (Jeeves #13)
Bertie Wooster vows that nothing will induce him to return to Totleigh Towers, lair of former magistrate Sir Watkyn Bassett. Apart from Sir Watkyn himself, the place is infested with his ghastly daughter Madeline and her admirer, would-be dictator Roderick Spode. But when his old friend 'Stinker' Pinker asks for Bertie's help, there is nothing for it but to buckle down and go there. His subsequent adventures involve a black statuette, a Brazilian explorer with a healthy appetite for whisky-and-soda, an angry policeman, and all the horrors of a school treat. It takes Jeeves, posing as Chief Inspector Witherspoon of the Yard, to sort out the mess and retrieve his employer from the soup.Rating Regarding Books Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves (Jeeves #13)

More rip-roaring adventures of Jeeeves and Wooster that makes tea snort from ones nose.Pip, pip.
Perhaps not as perfect as the best parts of the series but almost as good, and I love to listen to Jonathan Cecil in the role of Bertie and Jeeves.

Trouble at Totleigh Towers...When told that Stiffy Byng requires his presence at Totleigh Towers to perform a little task for her, Bertie issues a strong nolle prosequi. This young menace to society, Stiffy, while undoubtedly easy on the eye, is well known for landing her friends in hot water up to their chins. Plus Totleigh Towers is the home of Sir Watkyn Bassett who, due to an unfortunate misunderstanding, is convinced that Bertie is a habitual thief. Only Jeeves' brilliance in the past has
What a fun read! I haven't ready any of the other Jeeves books, but this was a great and very articulate romp.
