Uncle Fred to the Rescue – A Hilarious Romp of Scandal and Schemes

Frederick, Earl of Ickenham, may have the title of a nobleman, but his heart belongs to mischief. His youthful exuberance gets the better of him when, with an impish twinkle in his eye, he leans out of the Drones Club window and neatly knocks the silk top hat off his grumpy in-law, Sir Raymond Bastable, with a well-aimed catapult shot. What seems like a harmless prank quickly spirals into a whirlwind of unintended consequences.

Soon, Uncle Fred finds himself at the center of an unfolding storm—his antics inspire a scandalous bestseller, a film script, and a wave of romantic entanglements that threaten to upend the lives of all involved. Engagements are jeopardized, secrets unravel, and reputations dangle by a thread. But where others see disaster, Uncle Fred sees opportunity. With his legendary charm, quick wit, and an uncanny ability to talk himself (and everyone else) out of trouble, he embarks on a madcap mission to restore order—his way.

Packed with Wodehouse’s signature humor and dazzling wordplay, this is a riotous tale of misunderstandings, mistaken identities, and impeccable comic timing. As Uncle Fred himself puts it:

"No true sportsman would let his mere personal safety interfere with the pleasure of the chase."

In a world teetering on the brink of farce, only one man can pull the strings just right—and that man is Uncle Fred.
