Synopsis

Bill (Lord) Rowcester was well and truly in the gumbo. With the benefit of hindsight he could see that setting himself up as a Silver Ring bookie might not have been his smartest move ever. Particularly when being down on his dibbs threatens his oncoming nuptials with the sterling Jill Wyvern. Lucky for Bill he had the land-lease of Jeeves. Lucky indeed that the fish-fed mastermind’s formidable genius was at liberty to take a header into such teasers as borrowing the stellar Mrs. Spottsworth’s pendent for an hour or three or overseeing the added ingredients of Abbey’s Derby Dinner, to say nothing of his lordship’s mauve pajamas.

Goodreads review by Henry on August 08, 2023

Jeeves is running solo here and it shows by the lack of the usual pleasure reading the narrative, don't get me wrong the book always entertains at a different level though .. Jeeves has been loaned to a friend by the perpetual boss Mr. Bertie Wooster as his money slips from unhappy hands like a rele......more

This book did genuinely surprise me, as – despite what I thought – I had read it already. I told myself I’d missed out on ‘Ring for Jeeves’, the sole Jeeves novel without Bertie Wooster, as a Jeeves novel without Bertie Wooster just seemed to me unspeakably strange. However, despite my professed ign......more

Goodreads review by Nandakishore on August 07, 2023

This book comes somewhere past the midway of the Bertie and Jeeves saga - and the only novel where Bertie is not around, and the only novel narrated in third person. It was adapted from a play co-authored by Wodehouse. In this novel, Bertie has gone "back to school" to learn how to survive in a post-......more

Goodreads review by Girish on April 09, 2017

Ring for Jeeves - Excellent humor though a bit adventerous for the usual Jeeves. For starters Jeeves in the service of Bill Rowcester while Bertie is away in preparatory school for life in world of declining aristocracy. Bill Rowcester comes a close second to Bertie however and even brings on an add......more

Goodreads review by Jessica on February 12, 2022

Jeeves without Wooster . . . what IS the world coming to? And that does seem to be the issue at hand. In this post-war Britain, all is not right with society. The nobility are having to take on real jobs, or sell their ancestral homes, and good help is hard to find. With Bertie Wooster off at a schoo......more
