English butlers are a league of their own. More prude than their masters and more steeped in conventions of the English customs, they can get a shock of their lives, if only they could come to America. Something similar happens to our hero, Ruggles, who is staked by his owner in a game of cards and handed over to an American couple. What happens next is a riot of colors and experiences. So, come along on this comedy of situations with our hero who is trying to figure out the new country and its new customs and that too with a mistaken identity! The story has been adapted into two successful Hollywood movies and will give you hours of reading pleasure. Read on!

Some of them for long stretches are now overgrown by the herbage of the plain; some have faded back into the desert they lined; and more than one has been shod with steel. But along them all flit and brood the memory-ghosts of old, rich-coloured days. To the shout of teamster, the yell of savage, the creaking of tented ox-cart, and the rattle of the swifter mail-coach, there go dim shapes of those who had thrilled to that call of the West;—strong, brave men with the far look in their eyes, with those magic rude tools of the pioneer, the rifle and the axe; women, too, equally heroic, of a stock, fearless, ready, and staunch, bearing their sons and daughters in fortitude; raising them to fear God, to love their country,—and to labour…"
