Joy in the Morning
Joy in the Morning is one of the perfect pearls Wodehouse has given the world. I was given my copy by Adrian Morgan's mother, when they made a stop with us when they toured Europe.
And I still reread Joy in the Morning fairly often. It's that famous episode in the Jeeves-Wooster saga where Bertie Wooster visits the rural leper colony Steeple Bumpleigh, home to the broken-bottle eating Aunt Agatha, who, thankfully does comes on-stage in this book.
As usual, the Russian Wodehouse Society has a capsule plot summary, and a list of all main protagonists.
What more to add? It's a gem -- polished, rounded, not a word too much, perfectly plotted... I wish I knew how Wodehouse did it. (By writing a thirty-thousand word outline for a ninety thousand word book, and by dint of much exercise, of course. But apart from that.)
