Short Fiction

P. G. Wodehouse was an incredibly prolific writer who sold short stories to publications around the world throughout his career. The settings of his stories range from the casinos of Monte Carlo to the dance halls of New York, often taking detours into rural English life, where we follow his wide variety of distinctive characters and their trials, tribulations and follies.

The stories in this volume consist of most of what is available in U.S. public domain, with the exception of some stories which were never anthologized, and stories that are collected in themed volumes (Jeeves Stories, Golf Stories, Ukridge Stories, and School Stories). They are ordered by the date they first appeared in magazine form.

From Monte Carlo casinos to English country houses, this sweeping collection captures Wodehouse at his most prolific and inventive, story after delightful story.
