PhilSyphe | Apr 29, 2024 |   Typical Wodehouse, with a tangled yet frothy plot, and not a scene or character wasted. His characters here follow familiar archetypes, although the crooks offer something different. (  ) gjky | Apr 9, 2023 | (  ) Fence | Jan 5, 2021 | ) Jon_Hansen | Sep 28, 2019 | A perfectly good example, though the ending was a little prefunctory. Am working my way through the 90 or so Everyman Wodehouse portfolio and am nearly exactly half way (not all at once. of course). Am amazed that there have been so few that don't make it to at least 3 stars (and many considerably higher). I think it may be only one or 2 so far.

Do Butlers Burgle Banks?(1968) features Mike Bond, the hitherto fortunate owner of Bond's Bank, who finds himself in a spot of trouble so serious that he wants someone to burgle the bank before the trustees inspect it. Fortunately for him, Horace Appleby, currently posing as his butler, is on hand to oblige. For Horace is, in fact, not a butler at all but the best sort of American gangster, prudently concealing himself in an English country house while hiding from his rivals. Looking for peace and safety, Horace is to discover before long that the hot-spots of New York are a whole lot more restful than the English countryside. This is the lightest of light comedies, a Wodehousian souffle from his later years. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

The story hangs together well enough, and the characters are vivid, but the plot isn’t gripping, and nor are the characters Wodehouse’s best creations.
It’s a strange one to sum up, really. I liked it but was disappointed that it lacked the comedy associated with this talented author. (
