Publisher's Summary:
A book published in 1910 by a master of humor P. G. Wodehouse. The action begins with bachelor Jimmy Pitt in New York; having fallen in love on a transatlantic liner, he befriends a small-time burglar and breaks into a police captain's house as a result of a bet. The cast of characters head to England, and from there on it is a typically Wodehousean romantic story, set at the stately Dreever Castle, overflowing with imposters, detectives, crooks, scheming lovers and conniving aunts... A pure comedic joy, as always!

An early PGW,
And was enjoyable; however, it was marred by the strong dialect of Spike. It slowed the reading process and took away from the flow. Still in all, it had that familiar ring so familiar with other works of his and I recommend it to his fans, just to add to your library of must reads.
A good read for anyone who appreciates a well tuned story.
Wodehouse has little interest in being heralded in the literary circles. He writes to entertain. He was exceptionally popular for so long because he weaves a fabric of flawless narrative texture from start to finish. I rarely find writing these days with a satisfying range of social and physical geography. This book and the majority of Wodehouse successes give an accurate portrait of big city life in the 30s and 40s from New York skid row at the bottom to the estates of landed gentry in Buckinghamshire at the top. His character are thoroughly fleshed out and their struggles and fortunes are always fresh and compelling. Many of the books are available gratis in the kindle ebook library.
Wodehouse at his best
There is harmless crime and British asses and an overbearing older generation and a country estate and of course a pretty girl. This time the hero is American, which is a nice switch, but all the other Americans are fools of course except the pretty girl obviously. Anyway, nobody reads Wodehouse for the plots, he only had one plot, it's all about the language. Here the language is rich and full just like we like. If you read Wodehouse read this one too.
Old school wit
I haven't read any Wodehouse other than Jeeves, and this seems pretty lightweight by comparison, but it's a fun little farce. If you can get past the outdated slang and the abysmal (presumably intentionally so) "Bowery" accent of one of the characters, you'll find some good laughs.
A good Wodehouse read.
I am a big fan of Wodehouse. The Intrusion of Jimmy is not one of his best, in my opinion, but is still very entertaining. Wodehouse is a master of clever descriptions and dialog, and there are more than a few chuckles here. Well worth reading.
