    A novice leaves his abbey for the world in 1366, joins a company of English archers under a knight of the old school, and marches into France where chivalry is already a business. Doyle thought this his best book by far and was baffled that readers wanted detective stories instead; he researched the fourteenth century for a year and put the longbow, not the sword, at the center.

    Some men dream of changing society. Others simply hope to survive luncheon without disgrace.
In Comrade Bingo, P. G. Wodehouse unleashes another round of romantic confusion, social acrobatics, and impeccably polished nonsense. Bertie Wooster finds himself observing a world in which revolutionary ideals, aristocratic habits, and spectacularly poor decisions coexist far too comfortably. At the center of it all is Bingo Little — enthusiastic, impressionable, and once again dangerously in love. As political fervor collides with drawing-room etiquette, disguises become necessary, loyalties become flexible, and even the most respectable gathering threatens to dissolve into chaos.
Effortlessly witty and irresistibly light-footed, this is a masterclass in comic precision and the particular kind of disaster that only English gentlemen can create with complete sincerity.
