Mr Mulliner, his vivid imagination lubricated by Miss Postlethwaite the barmaid, has fabulous stories to tell of the extraordinary behaviour of his far-flung family: in particular there's Wilfred, inventor of Raven Gypsy face-cream and Snow of the Mountain Lotion, who lights on the formula for Buck-U-Uppo, a tonic given to elephants to enable them to face tigers with the necessary nonchalance. Its explosive effects on a shy young curate and then the higher clergy is gravely revealed. Then there's his cousin James, the detective-story writer, who has inherited a cottage more haunted than anything in his own imagination. And Isadore Zinzinheimer, head of the Bigger, Better \u0026amp; Brighter Motion Picture Company. Tall tales all - but among Wodehouse's best.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e'[Wodehouse]'s supreme achievement is \u003ci\u003eLeave it to Psmith\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e.\u003c\/i\u003e Accept no substitutes.' \u003c\/b\u003eJohn Self's favourite funny book for \u003ci\u003eIrish Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e'You'd have to have a heart of stone not to be amused by PG Wodehouse's Jeeves and Psmith books.'\u003c\/b\u003e Adrian McKinty's favourite funny books for \u003ci\u003eIrish Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wodehouse, P.G.","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":42031663349945,"sku":"9780099513797","price":4.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/wodehouse-p-g-p-g-wodehouse-leave-it-to-psmith-2008-paperback-9780099513797-58329456410963.jpg?v=1726826884","url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/leave-it-to-psmith-p-b-z44","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
