Produktbeschreibung

P. G. Wodehouse is at his best in Piccadilly Jim. One or two humorous plotlines simply arent enough for one of his stories. In this book we have Jimmy Crocker, a playboy of sorts on both sides of the Atlantic he becomes ashamed when his antics may have cost his American father an English Lordship. He decides to take on a different name, because of a girl, and then is forced to pretend to be that person pretending to be himself for the sake of that same girl. His father decides to come to America to be a butler so that he can follow baseball again. There are also kidnapping plots, other people pretending to be someone they arent, an invention worth stealing, and more; all contained in this one story. If it sounds like it doesnt make sense, then it will when you read this book.

This is a fairly early Wodehouse book, first being published on February 24, 1917 by Dodd, Mean and Company in the U.S., and it was published in May of 1918 in the U.K. by Herbert Jenkins Limited. This book is not part of a series, although the characters Ogden Ford and his mother Nesta were introduced in The Little Nugget.
