Meet Mr Mulliner

One of Wodehouse's most entertaining raconteurs is sitting in the Angler's Rest sipping hot whisky and lemon. In particular Wilfred the creator of Raven Gypsy face cream and Snow of the Mountain Lotion lights on the formula for Buck-U-Uppo a tonic given to elephants to enable them to face tigers with the necessary nonchalance. Mr. Mulliner's vivid imagination is lubricated by Miss Postlethwaite the barmaid and he has fantastic stories to tell of the extraordinary behaviour of his far-flung family. Gravely disclosed are its explosive effects first on a timid young curate and then on the higher clergy. James his cousin who writes detective stories has acquired a cottage that is more haunted than anything he could have imagined. And the president of the Bigger Better & Brighter Motion Picture Company Isadore Zinzinheimer.
