Product Description

P. G. Wodehouse is recognized as the greatest English comic writer of the twentieth century, rightly admired throughout the world and translated into more than thirty languages. Launched on the twenty-fifth anniversary of his death, this series presents each Overlook Wodehouse as the finest edition of the master’s work ever published—beautifully designed and faithful to the original.

This is the tale of Stanley
Featherstonehaugh Ukridge, one of Wodehouse’s favorite protagonists, and his fraught attempt to establish a business farming chickens on the coast of Dorset. The story is told by Jeremy garnet through whose bemused eyes we observe the magnificent Ukridge at work while following garnet’s own checkered romance with the daughter of a neighboring professor.


Praise for P.G. Wodehouse:
“Wodehouse is the greatest comic writer ever."
--Douglas Adams

"Wodehouse’s idyllic world can never stale. He will continue to release future generations from captivity that may be more irksome than our own." --Evelyn Waugh


P. G. WODEHOUSE (1881–1975) spent much of his life in Southampton, New York, but was born in England and educated in Surrey. He became an American citizen in 1955. In a literary career spanning more than seventy years, he published more than ninety books, twenty film scripts, and collaborated on more than thirty plays and musical comedies.
