Sinopse

Nineteen tales of romantic entanglements from one of British literature’s comedic stars, the author of the Jeeves novels.   First published in 1914, these short stories by P. G. Wodehouse deal with matters of the heart in all their complicated glory. From the struggling artist and his lovely downstairs neighbor in “The Man Upstairs” to a playwright’s romantic rescues in “Deep Waters” to a matrimonial sweepstakes in “The Good Angel,” Wodehouse captures the circumstances—both mundane and mysterious, contrived and spontaneous—that bring two strangers together in love.  Praise for P. G. Wodehouse   “Wodehouse’s idyllic world can never stale. He will continue to release future generations from captivity that may be more irksome than our own. He has made a world for us to live in and delight in.” —Evelyn Waugh   “He exhausts superlatives.” —Stephen Fry   “Pure word music.” —Douglas Adams

A honeymoon cruise goes horribly wrong when the captain insists that his 17-year-old son take over the helm, and the ship gets lost in the Bermuda Triangle. One lifeboat full of 12 people, including the captain and his son, washes up on an island. At first they think it is deserted, but they soon discover that a young woman named Aileen lives there. She claims to have arrived there when she was three years old, but her eloquent vocabulary makes them doubt her story. When she tells them that she was raised by fairies, they question her sanity. After the rations run out, the castaways' survival depends on this unreliable girl. They attempt to teach her how to function in the civilized world, confident that they will be rescued and that Aileen will come with them when they are. However, Aileen is a stubborn girl, and she resists being forced to behave in ways that are unnatural and illogical.Will they ever be rescued? Or will they have to live like savages for the rest of their lives? And is that so bad?

    With only twenty-four hours available to solve the mystery, Hercule Poirot recalled a chance remark he’d overheard back in Jerusalem: “You see, don’t you, that she’s got to be killed?” Mrs. Boynton was, indeed, the most detestable woman he’d ever met. . . .
