Aunts Aren't Gentlemen

The Cat-Nappers (U.S.)

A Jeeves & Wooster novel

Advised by a doctor to give up London and get plenty of fresh air and exercise, Bertie Wooster takes a cottage in the Somerset village of Maiden Eggesford. But if he wants peace and quiet, Bertie has not reckoned with the great explorer Major Plank, his Aunt Dahlia's views on the purity of the turf, the local magistrate and his riding-crop, or the cat that came back.

Horizontal blue bar

Same plot, same characters, just the names and places have been changed. Ok, you could say that about many of PG's books, but it's rarely as obvious as in this one. And it's a little bit short too. But for a gentleman of 93 years it's remarkably good.
