  THE HEART OF A GOOF

  2s. 6i. net

  Ferdinand Dibble should have been a competent golfer—but he was a goof. That he loved Barbara Medway was beyond a doubt; but he hadn't the nerve to ask her to marry him. Every time he felt he had mustered up enough pep to propose, he took ten on a bogey three. And then self-confidence left him.

  Spectator. —" The fun never flags. . . . Mr. Wode-honse is one of the most genuine humorists of the age, and with each new book his powers develop. This is his best so far."

  Sunday Express. —" My humorometer registered a laugh on every page. On some pages it choked—with laughter."

  MEET MR. MULLINER

  7s. 6^. net

  This book provides laughter, laughter all the way. Meet Mr. Mulhner and the spirits soar upwards. He relates some truly remarkable adventures. He is blessed, too, with a bevy of priceless relatives who keep the ball of fun rolling in no uncertain fashion. There is nephew Lancelot, cousin Clarence, the bulb squeezer or photographer, nephew George, cursed with a terrible stammer, and brother Wilfred who was clean bowled over by Miss Angela Purdue. In this bright company no one can fail to be amused.

  The New Statesman says of P. G. Wodehouse: "Mr. Wodehouse is a creature of pure light and joy, and it doesn't matter what he writes about."
