书籍简介

在无人机俱乐部的年度飞镖锦标赛中，身材魁梧的史迪尔顿·奇斯赖特吸引了伯蒂·伍斯特成为最热门的人选——这对伯蒂来说是幸运的，因为不然的话，史迪尔顿会把他打成肉酱，并在草坪上抹上黄油。斯提尔顿毕竟不喜欢那些他认为玩弄未婚妻感情的男人。

与此同时，伯蒂犯了一个更令人发指的罪行，蓄起了胡子，而吉夫斯强烈反对——这是不幸的，因为吉夫斯的封建精神是迫切需要的。伯蒂的姨妈达莉亚正试图把她的杂志《米拉迪的闺房》卖给特洛特帝国，同时还不让特洛特夫人控制她的大厨阿纳托利。那伯蒂呢?伯蒂只是试着抓住他的胡子，希望他能完好无损地结束比赛。

A Jeeves and Wooster novel

The beefy 'Stilton' Cheesewright has drawn Bertie Wooster as red-hot favourite in the Drones club annual darts tournament - which is lucky for Bertie because otherwise Stilton would have beaten him to a pulp and buttered the lawn with him. Stilton does not, after all like men who he thinks are trifling with his fiancée's affections.

Meanwhile Bertie has committed a more heinous offence by growing a moustache, and Jeeves strongly disapproves - which is unfortunate, because Jeeves's feudal spirit is desperately needed. Bertie's Aunt Dahlia is trying to sell her magazine Milady's Boudoir to the Trotter Empire and still keep her amazing chef Anatole out of Lady Trotter's clutches. And Bertie? Bertie simply has to try to hold onto his moustache and hope he gets to the end in one piece.

Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (always known as ‘Plum’) wrote about seventy novels and some three hundred short stories over seventy-three years. He is widely recognised as the greatest 20th-century writer of humour in the English language.

Perhaps best known for the escapades of Bertie Wooster and Jeeves, Wodehouse also created the world of Blandings Castle, home to Lord Emsworth and his cherished pig, the Empress of Blandings. His stories include gems concerning the irrepressible and disreputable Ukridge; Psmith, the elegant socialist; the ever-so-slightly-unscrupulous Fifth Earl of Ickenham, better known as Uncle Fred; and those related by Mr Mulliner, the charming raconteur of The Angler’s Rest, and the Oldest Member at the Golf Club.

In 1936 he was awarded the Mark Twain Prize for ‘having made an outstanding and lasting contribution to the happiness of the world’. He was made a Doctor of Letters by Oxford University in 1939 and in 1975, aged ninety-three, he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II. He died shortly afterwards, on St Valentine’s Day.
