The coming of Bill

To begin with, Kirk and Ruth, recently married, were blissfully happy and in due course a son, Bill, was born. But thereafter all did not go well. Returning from a long and fruitless visit to Columbia, Kirk finds that Ruth is firmly under the thumb of Aunt Lora, whose views on the care of children do not accord with Kirk's natural fatherly instincts. This is one reason for the coolness between Kirk and Ruth. How this situation is happily resolved is told with all P.G. Wodehouse's wit and skill.

  • "Kirk, an impecunious artist of perfect physique, and Ruth, a spoilt heiress, were blissfully happy through their early days of marriage and the birth of their first son. But when Kirk returns from a trip to Columbia to find Ruth under the thumb of her Aunt Laura, a believer in eugenics, parenting philosophies divide them. It takes a series of comic mishaps, featuring a galaxy of vintage Wodehouse characters, to retrieve the family's happiness from the overbearing aunt."@en
