The Code of the Woosters

Readers consistently highlight its laugh-out-loud humor, attributing Wodehouse’s masterful storytelling and clever character dynamics as key elements of its charm. The book is often cited as one of the best in the Bertie & Jeeves series, with Jeeves’ clever interventions and Bertie’s misadventures being particularly praised. Critiques, if any, are minimal, with most readers recommending the novel for its engaging narrative and its ability to deliver timeless humor. Overall, it is considered a classic piece of comedic literature.

Aunt Dahlia has tasked Bertie with purloining an antique cow creamer from Totleigh Towers. In order to do so, Jeeves hatches a scheme whereby Bertie must charm the droopy and altogether unappealing Madeline and face the wraths of would-be dictator Roderick Spode. Though the prospect fills him with dread, when duty calls, Bertie will answer, for Aunt Dahlia will not be denied.
