Jeeves, it transpires, has long been an agent of British Intelligence, but now His Majesty's government must turn to the one man who can help...Bertie Wooster. In this magnificent new homage to P. G.

Replete with a Times crossword and classic Schottian endnotes, you have access to the most blissfully entertaining means to while away an idle hour.
