“What are the chances of a cobra biting Harold, Jeeves?""Slight, I should imagine, sir. And in such an event, knowing the boy as intimately as I do, my anxiety would be entirely for the snake.” Once again I start my review of a book of the series with a quote. Any book is highly quotable. This installment consists of interconnecting stories mostly dealing with Bertie's pal Bingo Little. The guy's hobby is to fall in love with a girl on regular basis - a different one every time, exactly like Pepé Le Pew. Every time he thinks she is the one, he keeps involving poor Bertie to help him and every time it is Bertie who ends up having to deal with the consequences. Sufficient to say he almost got marries twice instead of Bingo - it is complicated. Luckily he had Jeeves to get him out of sticky situations (in other words, Jeeves had to help him practically every minute). Add to this no-nonsense Aunt Agatha who considers Bertie to be something similar to a village idiot and you can imagine that out hero did not have time to get bored - either his aunt, or his friend were always handy to make his already complicated and life even more complicated. “How does he look, Jeeves?""Sir?""What does Mr Bassington-Bassington look like?""It is hardly my place, sir, to criticize the facial peculiarities of your friends.” This is book 2 of the series. It also happened to be the first book containing Jeeves and Wooster stories exclusively. The characters still lack polish of the later books, the relationship between them are slightly different from what they will be later. Jeeves feels a little off. Bertie Wooster however is his usual self. I found the book very amusing. I smiled a lot reading it, however I did not laugh out loud like I did reading books 6 and 7. 4 firm stars is the final rating. If you want a humorous book you can do so much worse than this. 

Review updated on January, 4 2020."I mean, imagine how some unfortunate Master Criminal would feel, on coming down to do a murder at the old Grange, if he found that not only was Sherlock Holmes putting in the weekend there, but Hercule Poirot, as well."I love this quote. It came from this book. For those who somehow manage to avoid knowing anything about this classic British humor series the main heroes are Bertie Wooster and his servant Jeeves. Bertie's job is to get into all kind of absurd and improbable (from the normal logic point of view) situations arising from his noble attempts to help his two aunts and countless friends and Jeeves' job is to get him out of yet another trouble using some truly ingenious tricks. This time it all started very much innocently. Bertie suffering from a hangover from a previous night's party visited one of his aunts - Dahlia. She asked him to go to an antique dealer to pick up a cow-creamer for her husband - an antique collector. At this point I have to talk about this particular kitchen utensil. A cow-creamer is a creamer (a vessel to serve cream in, for example for tea) made of silver in form of a cow; according to the description and Bertie's impression very ugly. I will let Bertie himself describe it."It was a silver cow. But when I say 'cow', don't go running away with the idea of some decent, self-respecting cudster such as you may observe loading grass into itself in the nearest meadow. This was a sinister, leering, Underworld sort of animal, the kind that would spit out of the side of its mouth for twopence."We all know that there is a very fine line between an enthusiastic collector and fanatical one, so seemingly easy mission of Bertie turned out to be very important. Bertie managed to fail, completely and promptly. This failure resulted in his visit to a countryside, double, triple, and quadruple blackmail, desperate attempts to help two couples in love overcome all obstacles in their way, equally desperate attempts to stay out of jail, and avoid getting beaten to pulp. May I remind you the centerpiece of all this excitement was a cow-creamer which antiquity was under serious doubt. Absurd and funny situations guaranteed. Let me start with good parts. At times the tale was really funny. I laughed out loud several times with one scene being particular good, especially considering this whole scene was played out in Bertie's imagination. So as a humorous book it works - most of the time.Speaking about my problems with it, during my first read I thought one of them was entirely my fault. Some scenes in the beginning depend on the knowledge of the previous adventures to be funny. Yours truly jumped from the first book straight to book seven - this one, so some jokes happily flew over my head unnoticed. The second time around I reread the book just for this reason: I recently finished all six previous books and wanted to check if the knowledge of the background would make the book funnier. It did not. The following problems did not depend on the knowledge of the previous books. This book strongly reminded me of a joke. A very funny joke with great payoff, but overly long - like it took this whole book to tell this one joke. Before I read the previous book (more details on it below) I thought that the short story format works much better for Bertie Wooster and Jeeves. Book 6 proved otherwise.I was not much impressed with Jeeves' solutions for the impossible situations. They seemed to me sort of ordinary; nothing like a brilliant work of mind of Jeeves in the second short story of the first anthology. That one made me an instant fan of the guy. I compared the quotes from the previous book, Right Ho, Jeeves which I consider to be the funniest of the series so far with this one. The former has more brilliant ones, so my initial opinion is still valid: when it comes to humor, book 7 (this one) is not quite on the level with book 6.So the final conclusion: good and at times funny one, but its length became its problem - 3 stars. I still want to continue reading the series.

Ring for Jeeves features one of Wodehouse's best-known characters, Jeeves. It is the only Jeeves novel in which his employer, Bertie Wooster, does not appear (though he is mentioned).

In his absence he has allowed Jeeves to offer his services to William "Bill" Rowcester, the impoverished 9th Earl of Rowcester, whose stately home, Rowcester Abbey, is an encumbrance for which the Earl is seeking a buyer. Jeeves becomes embroiled in a complicated affair involving 'fake' bookies, stolen gems, a wealthy American widow and a big game hunter, but, as in all Jeeves novels, the imperturbable valet succeeds in resolving matters to the satisfaction of all parties.

The Little Book of Hygge: The Danish Way to Live WellThe Danish word hygge is one of those beautiful words that doesn't directly translate into English, but it more or less means comfort, warmth or togetherness. Hygge is the feeling you get when you are cuddled up on a sofa with a loved one, in warm knitted socks, in front of the fire, when it is dark, cold and stormy outside. It that feeling when you are sharing good, comfort food with your closest friends, by candle light and exchanging easy conversation. It is those cold, crisp blue sky mornings when the light through your window is just right. Lagom: The Swedish Art of Balanced LivingStep aside Hygge. Lagom is the new Scandi lifestyle trend taking the world by storm. This delightfully illustrated book gives you the lowdown on this transformative approach to life and examines how the lagom ethos has helped boost Sweden to the No.10 ranking in 2017's World Happiness Report.Lagom (pronounced 'lah-gom') has no equivalent in the English language but is loosely translated as 'not too little, not too much, just right'. It is widely believed that the word comes from the Viking term 'laget om', for when a mug of mead was passed around a circle and there was just enough for everyone to get a sip.

But Henry is volatile: one day tender, one day murderous. Cromwell helps him break the opposition, but what will be the price of his triumph?
