About the book
At Brinkley Court, the country home of Bertie Wooster's Aunt Dahlia, most of P. G. Wodehouse's second full-length Jeeves and Wooster novel takes place. Gussie Fink-Nottle, Bertie's old school friend, is a shy teetotaller devoted to newts who loves Madeline Bassett but cannot bring himself to propose. Bertie decides to steer Gussie's romance himself. At Brinkley, his cousin Angela has ended her engagement to Tuppy Glossop, and Aunt Dahlia is worried about gambling losses. The novel introduces Gussie and Madeline as recurring characters. Its first American book edition was titled Brinkley Manor, and it was serialized in the Saturday Evening Post before book publication.
Writing in the Guardian about books that make readers optimists, Steven Pinker called it the finest tribute to optimism in English.

But the best paean to optimism in the English language is in PG Wodehouse's Right Ho, Jeeves.
