Short Fiction Wodehouse, P.G.: The Man Upstairs and other stories. v1 23 Sep 2008

Jellby · 09-23-2008, 08:51 AM

Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (1881-1975) was a popular English comic writer. His books are usually set around pre-war upper-class English society.

This is a collection of 19 humoristic short stories, published in book form in 1914, each with at least a touch of romance at end. A typical sample of the author's style and themes... The stories included are:

"The Man Upstairs", "Something to Worry About", "Deep Waters", "When Doctors Disagree", "By Advice of Counsel", "Rough-hew Them How We Will", "The Man Who Disliked Cats", "Ruth in Exile", "Archibald's Benefit", "The Man, the Maid, and the Miasma", "The Good Angel", "Pots o' Money", "Out of School", "Three from Dunsterville", "The Tuppenny Millionaire", "Ahead of Schedule", "Sir Agravaine", "The Goal-keeper and the Plutocrat", and "In Alcala".

I created this version from the PG text, proofread and corrected. I added curly quotes, a TOC, some formatting, etc., and created the book with mobiperl.

Any kind of feedback is welcome.

You're welcome. I think I'll have a break from Wodehouse, though... I want to read something else

But I intend to come back to him.
