A Damsel in Distress Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Damsel_in_Distress_(novel) Produced by Jim Tinsley "A Damsel in Distress" by P. G. Wodehouse is a comedic novel written during the early 20th century. The story revolves around the characters of Lord Marshmoreton, his daughter Maud, his son Percy, and various other humorous figures, as they engage in romantic entanglements and misunderstandings. At the heart of the narrative is the charming interaction between Maud and an artist named George Bevan, who inadvertently becomes embroiled in her quest to connect with the man she loves, creating a series of delightful complications. The opening of the book introduces the reader to Belpher Castle in Hampshire, where much of the story is set. Lord Marshmoreton is established as an endearingly oblivious character, absorbed in his gardening while the more dynamic Lady Caroline Byng pushes for a marriage between her stepson Reggie and Maud. As Maud conspires to sneak away to meet the object of her affection, she recruits Reggie's help, leading to comedic and chaotic exchanges that hint at class struggles and romantic pursuits. The stage is set for a light-hearted exploration of love, misunderstanding, and the antics that ensue when characters chase their desires amidst a backdrop of aristocratic life.
