About the book
This collection brings together short fiction by P. Wodehouse, one of the great masters of English comic writing. His stories inhabit a wonderfully absurd world of country houses, gentlemen's clubs, formidable aunts, romantic misunderstandings and elaborate schemes that rarely unfold as planned. Wodehouse's intricate plots, memorable characters and extraordinary command of comic language give the stories their enduring appeal. Lighthearted and brilliantly constructed, they offer a delightful introduction to the humour and imagination of a writer whose distinctive style made him one of the most popular comic authors of the twentieth century.
