Ukridge (Everyman Wodehouse)

0.0

His disreputable career encompasses bookmaking and dog-training, fight-management and insurance broking. Plagued by bad debts, bad luck and the formidable Aunt Julia, Ukridge remains as resourceful and irrepressible as ever.

The author of almost a hundred books and the creator of Jeeves, Blandings Castle, Psmith, Ukridge, Uncle Fred and Mr Mulliner, P.G. Wodehouse was born in 1881 and educated at Dulwich College. After two years with the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank he became a full-time writer, contributing to a variety of periodicals. As well as his novels and short stories, he wrote lyrics for musical comedies, and at one stage had five shows running simultaneously on Broadway. At the age of 93, in the New Year's Honours List of 1975, he received a long-overdue Knighthood, only to die on St Valentine's Day some 45 days later. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
