The Code of The Woosters, by P.G. Wodehouse



Re-read, bath book, and all the comfort and charm that suggests. I love Wodehouse's ridiculous pre-war country house world, with all the houseguests creeping around in the night trying to pinch sterling cow-creamers and fiesty fiances and Aunt Dahlias.
On a related note, when I have a tremendous, ludicrous fortune, I fully intend to collect cow-creamers. LOVELY!!! Should anyone fancy one, here's a nice one:
