Books: The Blissful World of Wodehouse

Jeeves and the Tie That Binds, by P. G. Wodehouse (Simon & Schuster, 189 pp., $5.95)

I suppose there may be somebody, somewhere—in Outer Mongolia, perhaps, or the remotest jungles of the Congo—who does not know that P. G. Wodehouse recently celebrated his ninetieth birthday and that a brand new novel about Jeeves and Bertie was published to coincide with it. In Britain, certainly, such ignorance would be possible only if-one never read the newspapers, listened to the wireless or looked at television.
