Product Description

•••••

Sam Marlowe, a handsome, well-dressed young man, is drawn to adventure and romance amongst salty sea breezes. On board the ocean liner Atlantic, he comes upon Wilhelmina "Billie" Bennett, the ex-fiancée of his cousin, Eustace. Wilhelmina discovers the same passion and adventure in Sam, her own Sir Galahad, the "ideal knight." And it's all sunshine and flowers and cosy readings of Tennyson's Idylls of the King until Sam's erroneous "A Little Imitation" at the ship's performance causes a schism between the two, and when the Atlantic docks, Sam and Billie part ways.

"And so, calm and golden, the days went by, each fraught with hope and youth and sweetness, linking two young hearts in silken fetters forged by the laughing love-god."

Wodehouse, true to tradition, leaves no stone unturned, no legal option unexplored, and no cabinet vacant as his writing leads us to the novel's comedic end. The Girl on the Boat wishes Wodehouse admirers old and new a rolicking voyage.

AUTHOR:

Sir Pelham Grenville (P. G.) Wodehouse (1881–1975) was an English author and playwright and one of the premier humorists of the twentieth century. His inimitable prose, in the words of Evelyn Waugh, “has made a world for us to live in and delight in.” Wodehouse’s hundreds of written works include the masterful Jeeves & Wooster and Blandings Castle stories.
