MP3 Audio CD. Enjoy Another Gem from P.G. Wodehouse: The Intrusion of Jimmy The Intrusion of Jimmy is quite possibly one of the best novels written by P.G.

Jimmy stumbles into a lot of trouble when discovered to have broken into a flat as a result of a bet, and manages to fall in love with an attractive young lady on a transatlantic liner.Through typical romantic farces that have become distinguishable as a main theme in Wodehouse's novels, The Intrusion of Jimmy always seems to show the most… Read More

Bennet is red-haired and she loves dogs ? two qualities that make her journey by sea along with three gentlemen exciting and adventurous.
