E. V. Timms’ James! How Dare You! follows the continuing misadventures of James—a well-meaning but impetuous Englishman whose impulsive decisions create comic chaos for himself and those around him. After the events of the earlier novel James! Don’t Be a Fool, James gets into a series of socially awkward and increasingly tangled situations: romantic misunderstandings, bungled attempts at heroism, and clashes with authority figures. His earnest but naïve efforts to help others repeatedly backfire, producing a string of farcical episodes that expose both his good intentions and lack of foresight. The plot moves through a succession of set-piece embarrassments and reconciliations, with Timms using satire of social manners and institutions to drive the humour; by the end James has learned some modest self-awareness, though his essential temperament—impetuous, earnest, comic—remains intact.
