review 1: Young Men in Spats - P.G. Wodehouse I say!I say!Oh, jolly good! :D As always, Wodehouse brings us wonderful British comedy. Young men in Spats comprises stories concerning guys from the Drone Club. I still enjoy Wooster & Jeeves' stories a little bit more, but they are all great, so I can't complain :) [I'm counting this for the 2014 Alphabet Soup Reading Challenge]
review 2: Wodehouse excelled at the short story, and this tip-top collection brims with some of his finest and fruitiest. It includes the well known classic (well known among discerning readers anyway) 'Uncle Fred Flits By', in which Pongo Twistleton endures a visit from his Uncle Fred, temporarily 'off the leash' and at large in the metropolis. Uncle Fred's seemingly harmless plan to visit the... more suburbs results in the pair impersonating a vet, a mute parrot anaesthetist, and a Mr Roddis of the Cedars, Mitching Hill. Another offering is one of my favourite Wodehouse stories, 'Tried in the Furnace', in which Wodehouse displays his expert knowledge of knock-about-cross-talk acts. His description of the Mothers' Annual Outing reduces me to tears, and deserves to be hailed as one of the great moments in fiction. less
