This is a great opportunity to discover and enjoy Wodehouse's marvellous comic writing. Jim Crocker, a young American who lives in London with his stepmother, writes an arts column under the pseudonym Piccadilly Jim and one day, is more than unusually nasty about a poem by a young writer. Shortly after, he falls in love with a gorgeous young thing called Ann, only to discover she is the aforementioned poet. Classic and absurd Wodehouse action ensues as Jim attempts to rescue the situation by changing his identity...Only he has met his match in Ann who becomes involved in her own means of deception! Wonderfully funny stuff that maintains a swift pace, thanks to the unique combination of Martin Jarvis reading P.G. Wodehouse. Jimmy Crocker, a.k.a. Piccadilly Jim is a lively young American ex-newspaper man who meets Ann Chester, the girl of his dreams, in London. Problem is Jim once wrote a bad review of her first book of poetry. They set sail to New York together with Ann still not knowing he's the dastardly critic! Add a brilliantly colourful Manhattan setting, an unlikely butler, odd spies, eccentric 'tecs, scientific secrets, plus an odious boy called Ogden, and the ingredients are here for one of PG Wodehouse's most dazzlingly comic feasts. It features DVD release of new Julian Fellowes scripted film of "Piccadilly Jim" with Sam Rockwell as Jim.
