Commentary Supposing Books Cocktail Time (Uncle Fred #3)

Another PGW winner

P.G. Wodehouse is the funniest writer of the past century. Wodehouse defies superlatives and is, for my money, the best comedic writer to ever put pen to paper.

Despite being a confirmed Wodehousian this is only the second Uncle Fred novel I have read. According to Wikipedia the Uncle Fred stories comprise one short story and four novels, two of which are set at Blandings Castle:

"Uncle Fred Flits By" (1935) - included in the collection Young Men in Spats, (1936)
Uncle Fred in the Springtime (1939) - a Blandings story
Uncle Dynamite (1948)
Cocktail Time (1958)
Service with a Smile (1961) - a Blandings story

So, back to 'Cocktail Time', I can confirm that I smiled, I chuckled, and I laughed. Not quite as much as the very best books by P.G. Wodehouse, but a still a more than satisfactory return.

Of course it is not all about humour, the other pleasure of P.G. Wodehouse is the delightful writing, and the playfulness that runs through his work and appears on each and every page. His books are the best possible escape from the real world - a retreat into a predictable, amusing, cheerful place where the lovelorn ultimately find solace and the pompous have their pomposity pricked.

I already eagerly await my next foray into the wonderful world of Wodehouse.

4/5

Judgment Based On Books Cocktail Time (Uncle Fred #3)
Many people have recommended P.G. Wodehouse to me many times, and now I have finally read one of his books. I had no particular reason for choosing Cocktail Time as my first Wodehouse experience. I went to a used bookstore for the first time here in my new town, and at the back of the shop was a small bookcase full of very new-looking Wodehouse books. With no idea where to begin, I looked to the proprietor for some advice. He was the very idea of a used bookstore proprietor: older, with a

Johnny Pearce can't get married because his fiancee refuses to live with Johnny's old nursemaid, Nanny Bruce. Nanny won't leave until Johnny gives her 500 pounds, which he doesn't have. Respected barrister Beefy hates the younger generation, but they love his risque novel, Cocktail Time. Once Beefy's mooching nephew finds out who wrote it, he turns to blackmail. And setting up most of these complications is Uncle Fred.Most of my Wodehouse reads have been of Wooster and Jeeves, but I'm glad I

See my dozens of reviews for other Plum novels. Uncle Fred's "sweetness & light" are winning enough for me to overlook his mockery of my bird watching hobbies.

Uncle Fred continues to spread sweetness and light, but this for me, it didn't measure up to the previous books. It has all the trademark Wodehouse wit, Uncle Fred meddles in everybody's business (which this time includes finding a way to get his friend and future MP out of the trouble he created when he wrote a scandalous novel, helping his godson, and promoting a match between the butler of an acquaintance and the widowed lady of the house), and continues to be a delight. He just wasn't as

My first PG Wodehouse book! The back of the book, which calls it a "hilarious jab at the publishing industry," drew me in, and while it wasn't as publishing-centric as I'd hoped, it lived up to the hilarious part. I was charmed by the characters, the humor, and the twisting plot. This book, to quote the first page, left me feeling "as bumps-a-daisy as billy-o." I look forward to reading more Wodehouse books!

Lord Ickenham knocks off the hat of Beefy Bastable using a sling shot and a brazil nut. Hijinks ensue from there. Very funny.

P. G. Wodehouse wrote almost 100 novels and collections of short stories. He is perhaps the greatest comic writer of the 20th Century best known for his stories featuring young British dilettante Bertram "Bertie" Wooster and his wry valet Jeeves. "Cocktail Time" is a novel featuring another of Wodehouse's unique characters, Frederick Altamont Cornwallis Twistleton, fifth Earl of Ickenham, commonly called Lord Ickenham or Uncle Fred. The story begins in the smoking-room of the Drones Club. "An
