Imagine Bertie Wooster with no Jeeves to rescue him from disaster. Oswald Hattersley Blettisloe Thake is the ultimate English upper-class twit. A gentleman of far more leisure than sense, he lurches haplessly from calamity to calamity, describing everything (with glorious incomprehension) in his letters home to his friend Beachcomber. The Adventures of Mr Thake is an essential read for anyone interested in classic English humour.
