P. G. Wodehouse
One of P. G. Wodehouse's most enticing later works, Barmy in Wonderland is a gem of a novel from the master of social satire and comedy.
Cyril Fotheringay-Phipps, known to his friends as Barmy, has made a poor decision. He has invested ten thousand dollars in a stage production that seems doomed from the start in order to be near the woman of his dreams—Miss Dinty Moore. Will he find true love, or merely lose a fortune?
Featuring a cast of sharply drawn characters, from haughty film stars and monstrous producers to detestable critics and total divas, Barmy in Wonderland is a brilliant satire on life behind the curtains.

Critic reviews
“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, New York Times bestselling author, praise for the author)“Wodehouse’s novels are the very definition of British humor—bubblingly witty and dryly loony.”
(Entertainment Weekly, praise for the author)“To enjoy this novel, you must delight in brittle turns of phrase and have a taste for a pocket full of wry.”
(Tom Markus, in A Novel Approach to Theatre: From Adams to Zola)
