Summary

"The Swoop! or, How Clarence Saved England: A Tale of the Great Invasion" by P. G. Wodehouse is a funny story about England being invaded by many different countries all at once. The main character is Clarence Chugwater, who is a young Boy Scout. Clarence really cares about England. The story starts with Clarence trying to tell his family that a German army has landed, but they don't pay attention. Then, all these different armies show up in England, and it's all very silly because no one seems to know what they are doing. Clarence becomes important because he wants to help England and be brave, making the story a funny look at what it means to be British and what it means to be brave.
