P. G. Wodehouse 
The Swoop! or, How Clarence Saved England: A Tale of the Great Invasion 

‘The Swoop! or, How Clarence Saved England’ is a satirical and humorous novel by the renowned British author, P. G. Wodehouse. Set during the fictional ‘Great Invasion, ‘ the story hilariously depicts the panic and chaos that ensue when England is invaded by multiple foreign armies simultaneously.

The main protagonist, Clarence Chugwater, is an ordinary and unassuming boy scout who unexpectedly finds himself at the centre of a national crisis. As the invaders clash and the British Army struggles to defend the homeland, Clarence’s quick thinking and resourcefulness play a vital role in saving England.

Wodehouse’s trademark wit and clever storytelling make ‘The Swoop!’ a delightful and entertaining read. Through absurd situations and eccentric characters, the novel satirises patriotism, war, and the British stiff upper lip.
