Description
Bored with his own success, American composer George Bevan hails a taxi in London’s Piccadilly—only to find himself instantly entangled with a beautiful “damsel in distress.” The woman is Lady Maud Marshmoreton, trapped at Belpher Castle and desperate to meet the man she loves, but her escape collides with family interference, romantic rivalries, and a web of misunderstandings that George can’t seem to outrun. As he tries to help Maud, his efforts pull him into a lively tangle of schemes involving her brother Percy, her determined guardian-like ally, and a secret affection that complicates every plan. With Wodehouse’s signature lightness, sharp wit, and buoyant farce, this story turns courtship and class into a playground for comic chaos—where love is real, but the path to it is gloriously tangled.
