Writer: P G Wodehouse
Genre: Fiction, Humour
Bertie decides to take a small vacation to the country side
as per the advice of his doctor. He decides to go to Maiden Eggesford in
Somerset. Maiden Eggesford is in the middle of a horse race and the 2 favourite
horses are Simla and Potato Chip. Simla belongs to Jimmy Briscoe, a good friend
of Bertie's Aunt Dahlia. Potato Chip belongs to Pop Cook who takes an instant
dislike to Bertie when he meets him. After his aunt places some heavy bets on
Simla and decides to use her own strategic thinking to make Simla win, Bertie
becomes and unwanted accomplice in a theft planned by her. How Bertie wriggles
his way out of the situation is what the book is all about.
Being a typical Wodehouse it never leaves you with a dull
moment. It has to make you smile.
