Plums of P.G.

This collection gathers complete comic short stories by Wodehouse together with brief extracted passages, the 'plums' of the title. The stories move among country houses, London clubs, and suburban villas, and they typically turn on an imposture, an engagement, or a scheme that collapses in public. Recurring figures include the Blandings household, the raconteur Mr Mulliner, the scrounger Ukridge, and the amiable wrecker Uncle Fred. The inserted quotations isolate single similes and asides from the wider fiction. The volume is a sampler of independent farces and verbal turns, not one continuous novel and not a biography of the author.
