Summary: P.G. Wodehouse is like vintage champagne
Review: Reading P.G.Wodehouse is like going through life after drinking two glasses of champagne. His world is one where everyone would like to live, he is as absurd and as hilarious as life itself. His stories make one giggle; they take one back to that place where everything turns out right, the same state of mind one had when one was five years old. He is as light as a feather, yet his command of the language is uncanny. Wodehouse is addictive!

Summary: Me Scissors is Me Sweetheart
Review: This novel is subtitled "Ye Old Baby Switcheroo," and the publisher doesn't mind giving away this much of the plot: "Twenty-eight years later, the son of a barber is now an earl, and the son of an earl is now a barber." So the dual themes are "hair restoration and heir restoration." If that sounds witty and droll, it's a good introduction to the rest of the book. This is an oversized, paperback, large-print edition from the oddly-named publisher, International Polygonics (IPL). I don't think a smaller font version exists in paperback. In the preface D.R. Benson says that If I Were You makes use of a bit of plot from W.S. Gilbert (as in Gilbert and Sullivan), and the sense of theatre runs throughout. Add "enter stage right" and "exit stage left" in a few places and you'd have a corking good play. Add singing and you'd have a sprightly musical. For fans who enjoy seeing Plum's "other life" in musical comedy creep into the books.
