Plums of P.G. Wodehouse

This anthology selects comic short stories and excerpts from P. G. Wodehouse, arranged as a sampler of his recurring worlds rather than as a single novel. Typical pieces involve country houses, clubs, golf, and schemes that collapse: an uncle on the loose, chaos at a great house, a sermon-betting fiasco, golfers and club raconteurs, and boarding-house plots built on borrowed money and false names. Recurring types include idle young men, formidable aunts, and servants who see the mess coming. There is no frame story that binds the items into one plot. The book is a reader's selection of Wodehousian short fiction.

Bound in gcream cloth printed in brown on all sides with cartoons. Dark red endpapers. Dark red slipcase.
