Description:
In this sharp, witty novel we follow the irrepressible Psmith as they navigate the rigid confines of the New Asiatic Bank. A clever satire of office life and a delightful foray into the antics of one of literature's most lovable heroes.
Brief description: P. G. Wodehouse (1881-1975) was an English author and one of the most widely read humorists of the twentieth century. Wodehouse was prolific throughout his life, publishing more than ninety books, forty plays, two hundred short stories and other writings between 1902 and 1974. Many of his recurring characters have become fixtures of English literature, among them feckless Bertie Wooster and his sagacious valet, Jeeves; the immaculate and loquacious Psmith; and the bungling opportunist Stanley Featherstonehaugh Ukridge.
