Publisher's Summary

When Maud Marsh flings herself into George Bevan's cab in Piccadilly, he starts believing in damsels in distress. George traces his mysterious traveling companion to Belpher Castle, home of Lord Marshmoreton, where things become severely muddled. Maud's aunt, Lady Caroline Byng, wants Maud to marry Reggie, her stepson. Maud, meanwhile, is known to be in love with an unknown American she met in Wales. So when George turns up speaking American, a nasty case of mistaken identity breaks out. In fact, the scene is set for the perfect Wodehouse comedy of errors.

Awesome!!!!

It’s a wonderful story. It’s criminal how underrated P.G. Wood house’s romance books are. Even when you can see the plot from a mile away it’s the treatment and style of storytelling that keeps one glued to the book. Highly recommended!!

loved it!

loved the book, but it did feel like the narrator gobbled up a few words... they were almost inaudible

Fantastic marathon

PG Wodehouse always manages to drive the blues away. While A Damsel in distress is no where near Jeeves or Blandings, it is still so much better than the stuff you get in the name of comedy these days! The narration is simply superb!

A Timeless classic

The story Is a time less classic, and needs to be enjoyed with leisure. Readers may find some similarities to Blandings Castle, but the plot is ingeniously humorous.

Looking forward to watch Fred Astaire’s 1937 movie adaption now.
