The Collected Works of P. G. Wodehouse

P.G. Wodehouse · 2000 · 425 pages

The Swoop! tells of the simultaneous invasion of England by several armies - "England was not merely beneath the heel of the invader. It was beneath the heels of nine invaders. There was barely standing-room." Not only is Britain unprepared for invasion, the public shows a complete disregard for the invasion - except as a source of entertainment. And the invading armies are defeated not by the might of Britain's military, but by the cunning stratagems of an unknown "Man of Destiny", the 14-year-old Clarence Chugwater, assisted by his band of Boy Scouts. "Wodehouse concocted a preposterous plot which, unlike his models, was preposterous by intent." The Swoop! is a comical satire on the popular genre of invasion literature - Tom Clancy - lookout!******************************************************** Check Out More Great Titles From Dodo Publishing ********************************************************Click on "Dodo Publishing (Editor)" under the title to see a full list of all of our great books!!New titles are being added daily, so be sure to check back often to find more great discounted books!!
