Traveling German nobleman Baron Rudolf von Blitzenberg finds himself at loose ends. Despite impeccable letters of introduction, he sits at the luxurious Hotel Mayonnaise in England without a guide to this strange land's customs. Enter Francis Beveridge. At least, Beveridge is the name that was sewn into all his clothes. And so the wild ride begins, as the astonishing Beveridge brings rail stations to a standstill, knows how to fake a rabies attack, and crashes London's most exclusive clubs. And in hot pursuit are the clueless attendants charged with watching over Beveridge before he escaped the confines of Clankwood, asylum to the best-bred lunatics in the land. This anarchic novel is a Victorian comic masterpiece, much admired by P. G. Wodehouse, and which presaged his own work..
