Rocky Todd is a man of simple needs: he wants to be a poet for three days a year and spend the remaining three hundred and twenty-nine doing absolutely nothing. But in the world of P. G. Wodehouse, peace is a fragile thing. In The Aunt and the Sluggard, this peaceful idleness meets a high-speed collision with family ambition.
When Rocky's wealthy, determined aunt decides it's time for her nephew to start 'living the strenuous life,' his comfortable New York trance is shattered. What follows is a chaotic maze of poetic pretenses and social disasters. It's up to Bertie Wooster and the ever-reliable Jeeves to navigate the hilarious gap between a dedicated sluggard's dreams and an aunt's unstoppable mission.
Expect sparkling dialogue, catastrophic timing, and a sharp, fast-paced comedy where the only thing more dangerous than a clever plan is a relative with a clear goal. The Aunt and the Sluggard is a witty reminder that for a true artist of laziness, no place is safe when family is involved.
