Barmy in Wonderland: Pelham Wodehouse

A penniless Englishman falls in love with a lively American girl, loses her, finds her again, is rejected, but finally discovers true love with her after many comic adventures. In Barmy in Wonderland this classic plot of 1920s musical comedy, so familiar to Wodehouse from his own stage works, becomes the basis for a brilliant satire on theatrical life. Featuring monstrous producers, vain film stars, impossible critics, temperamental actresses and a whole chorus of sharply drawn minor parts, this is one of Wodehouse’s most enticing later novels.
