Bertie Wooster, the dim-witted aristocrat with a heart of gold, had best avoid Bumpleigh Hall, but he pays a visit and soon is embroiled in a host of calamitous mishaps. Uncle Percy accuses him of burning down a bungalow; "Stilton" Cheesewright, betrothed to Bertie's ex-fiancee, barely controls his jealous rage; and Boko and Nobby blackmail Bertie into donning Stilton's stolen police uniform. Fortunately, Bertie's imperturbable valet, Jeeves, is nearby to perform a rescue. Jonathan Cecil brilliantly captures the characters and overall hilarity.
This work features a collection of brilliantly entertaining stories featuring Jeeves and Wooster. Jeeves is not only a tireless servant to Bertie Wooster, but saviour of a good many other individuals as well. The list is long. Very long. There's Bingo Little in the affair of the marooned cabinet minister; Sippy Sipperley, when he is persecuted by his former headmaster; Tuppy Glossop in his foolhardy pursuit of the opera singer; and, not to mention Miss Dalgleish the dog-girl.
The fifth in the new Naxos Audiobooks series In a Nutshell, The Renaissance is a short and accessible introduction to the era that gave us Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Palestrina. The Renaissance swept across Europe between the 14th and 17th centuries, heralding intellectual revolutions in science, art, philosophy and politics, and marking a decisive shift towards modern thinking. The authoritative Peter Whitfield brings together all the different threads of this transformative period in a lucid and fascinating introduction.
Rod Walker didn't know where in the universe he had been sent ... he only knew he somehow had to survive. It was just a test. But something had gone wrong. Terribly wrong. What was to have been a standard ten-day survival test had suddenly become an indefinite life-or-death nightmare.
