Mr Mulliner, his vivid imagination lubricated by Miss Postlethwaite the barmaid, has fabulous stories to tell of the extraordinary behaviour of his far-flung family: theres Cyril, the timid interior designer, who finds himself drunkenly playing this little piggy with his beloveds formidable and angry mothers toes - how can that possibly end well?! And then theres Wilfred, who lights on the formula for Buck-U-Uppo, a tonic given to elephants to enable them to face tigers with the necessary nonchalance. Add one of the best Jeeves and Wooster stories and youve got a medley of Wodehouse delights in which lunacy and comic exuberance reign supreme.Contents:- Mulliners Buck-u-uppo - The Spot of Art- Strychnine in the Soup
