In the Angler`s Rest, drinking hot scotch & lemon, sits one of Wodehouse`s greatest raconteurs. Mr Mulliner, his vivid imagination lubricated by Miss Postlethwaite the barmaid, has fabulous stories to tell of the extraordinary behaviour of his far-flung family: there`s Cyril, the timid interior designer, who finds himself drunkenly playing `this little piggy` with his beloved`s formidable & angry mother`s toes
- how can that possibly end well?! & then there`s Wilfred, who lights on the formula for Buck-U-Uppo, a tonic given to elephants to enable them to face tigers with the necessary nonchalance... Add one of the best Jeeves & Wooster stories & you`ve got a medley of Wodehouse delights in which lunacy & comic exuberance reign supreme.
