The adventures of Sally

Life was always simple for Sally Nicholas-until she became rich. Being unaccustomed to possessing a great deal of money, Sally hasn't gotten the hang of it yet. This explains why she agrees to back a show written by her fiancé Gerald and staged by her brother, Fillmore. It seems like a good way to make them all happy ... but when Ginger Kemp, a rather hopeless, charming young man Sally met in Roville, appears in America and offers not-very-glad tidings about Gerald, he really puts the cat among the pigeons.

  • "Regarded as one of the most skilled humor writers ever to write in English, Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse's works of fiction usually pillory the British upper classes that represented the social milieu into which he was born. In The Adventures of Sally, Wodehouse turned his attention to a young American heiress whose sudden wealth brings with it an array of unforeseen problems."@en
  • "In a story set on both sides of the Atlantic, life was always simple for Sally Nicholas until she inherits a fortune. Being unaccustomed to owning a great deal of money, Sally hasn't got the hang of it yet, which is why she agrees to her brother's wild theatrical venture. -Amazon.com."@en
  • "Sally never would have guessed a fortune could prove such a disadvantage, until she had one ... this explains why she agrees to back a show written by her fiancé Gerald and staged by her brother, Fillmore. It seems like a good idea at the time ... but when Ginger Kemp, a rather hopeless, charming young man offers not-very-glad tidings about Gerald, the Wodehouse fun really starts. Sally soon finds that life in New York has becoming altogether too thorny, and a trip to England can only make the whole state of affairs worse."@en
  • "Pretty, impecunious Sally Nicholas never dreamed a fortune could prove a disadvantage, until she becomes and heiress and watches in bewilderment as her orderly existence goes haywire. Coping first with her brother's wild theatrical ambitions, then with the defection of her fiance and his immediate replacement by a much more appropriate but strangely attractive suitor, Sally finds that life in New York is becoming altogether too complicated. A trip to England only makes the whole situation worse. But just as Sally is concluding that she has disastrously misplaced her bets, it looks as if a piece of speculation on an outsider might just give her a happy ending."@en
  • ""The Adventures of Sally is a transatlantic comedy set in worlds Wodehouse knew well: American theaters, English country houses, and the theatrical boarding-houses where young men and women dream of finding fame and fortune. Coming into a modest inheritance, one of these young women, Sally, is able to leave her boarding-house at last, and looks forward to a quiet life in a small apartment. Instead, she finds herself swept up in a series of adventures with her ambitious brother and her playwright fiancé, along with an accident-prone, dog-loving Englishman she meets on a French beach and his supercilious cousin, who pursue her across the Atlantic. While losing most of her inheritance backing a play, she sheds the unsatisfactory fiancé, rejects the supercilious cousin, falls in love with the accident-prone Englishman, and finds happiness in a kennel on Long Island"--Jacket."@en
