"Cocktail Time" is a comic novel written by P. G. Wodehouse, first published in the United Kingdom on July 20, 1958, by Herbert Jenkins and in the United States on October 24, 1958, by Simon & Schuster, Inc.
The novel features one of Wodehouse's most famous recurring characters, the amiable and bumbling Earl of Ickenham, better known as Uncle Fred. As with many of Wodehouse's novels, the story is set in the fictional world of the British upper class, with its unique blend of comedy, farce, and romance.
The story revolves around the Earl of Ickenham, who helps his friend Johnny write a novel called "Cocktail Time" under a pseudonym. The novel becomes a massive success, but the author's true identity remains a closely guarded secret. However, when the book's scandalous content leads to pressure from a moralistic MP, Lord Tilbury, the Earl of Ickenham must use his wit and cunning to maintain the secret while also dealing with several romantic entanglements and misadventures.
In "Cocktail Time," Wodehouse weaves a hilarious and engaging story with a colorful cast of characters, including the eccentric Lord Ickenham, the ambitious Lord Tilbury, and the lovable and lovable and exasperated Johnny. The novel is a delightful example of Wodehouse's signature wit, wordplay, and expertly crafted plot, making it an enjoyable read for fans of British humor and classic literature.
