Tom’s comments from the Reading Wodehouse group.

Hi Anish,

Welcome to the club..

Oops yes, proves I haven't seen it in a long time...:0
The Little Nugget

How about The golden nugget?
Nice standalone novel about rich spoiled kid in a public school, a good assortment of American crooks and a typical reliable English good-un

Hi Aniket,

Psmith first made his appearance in the schoolboy novel Mike which was later split in two: Mike at Wrykin and Mike and Psmith. These are the books that transitioned PGW from Schoolboy novels to more mainstream comedy novels.
After that there's Psmith in the City and Psmith Journalist.

Psmith in the city I would need to reread, but Psmith Journalist is a pretty good book.

Psmith also figured in some Blandings novels but that was later on and his character was watered down and more stereotypical.

Hi all, my name is is Tom.

In my twenties I used to be a big Wodehouse fan and scoured the secondhand bookshops in the Netherlands & UK to get a more or less complete collection.
A few early ones remain missing, 2 or 3, but the rest is all here gathering dust...

I also really liked the Fry & Laurie Jeeves & Wooster series. Was also a big fan of the radio dramatizations of the J&W novels (not audiobooks but real dramatizations).

I also have a number of books on Wodehouse, including a quizbook, the result of which you could send to the
publisher to get a certificate...

Like what is the colour of the Pyjamas in Joy in the morning (an easy one ;-))
