Ben Schott follows in the patent-leather footsteps of the great humourist, P.G. Wodehouse and his empire of comic writing.
Building on Wodehouse´s incalculable legacy, JEEVES AND THE KING OF CLUBS reimagines Bertie Wooster as a British spy, and the Junior Ganymede - the club for the gentleman´s gentleman - as a branch of the British Secret Service. Full of intrigue, exploits, comedy and wit, Schott and Wodehouse make for a harmonious, hilarious pair.
"Peerless in its wit, elegance and silliness. It is the most successful homage to PG Wodehouse´s Wooster and Jeeves stories to date. The footnotes are a joy of misplaced erudition. More of the same, please." Robert Fox Evening Standard, BOOKS OF THE YEAR
Ben Schott is the author of Schott´s Original Miscellany and its four sequels, which have been translated into twenty-one languages; six volumes of the yearbook Schott´s Almanac; and Schottenfreude. He divides his time between London and New York.
