Synopsis

When Bill Bannister meets Dr. Sally Smith, love blossoms immediately. Unfortunately, there is just the small problem of Lottie Higginbotham, former actress, serial bride, and human fireball, with whom Bill is already involved. The well-meaning interference of Bill’s old friend, Squiffy Tidmouth, once married to Lottie, only complicates matters further—until everything is straightened out in a series of comic encounters at Bill’s ancestral home and everyone lives happily ever after.

Goodreads review by John on January 25, 2023

A lovely amusing novella. Short but sweet. Bill, Lottie, Dr Sally, Lord Emworth and the aged uncle Hugh. Misunderstandings, farce and a few chuckles along the way.

Goodreads review by Nigeyb on November 07, 2018

Sometimes one P.G. Wodehouse is just not enough. Having finished, and thoroughly enjoyed, A Pelican at Blandings (1969) I moved straight on to Doctor Sally (1932).

The thing is his good-for-nothing nephew Bill Bannister falls for her too, but not for golfing reasons, whilst intending to ask Mrs......more

Goodreads review by Gerry on February 03, 2020

What an absolute delight to pick up a book, get straight into the storyline with amusing characters and not be able to put the book down until it is finished; it does not happen very often but 'Doctor Sally' is definitely one of those books! In true PG tradition there are romantic interludes with the......more
