I've always been a fan the Jeeves series -- Blandings not so much.

I also like the Psmith books. I need to try Ukridge.



I've only read the first Psmith book set in Blandings - Leave it to Psmith. It's absolutely hilarious.

If you like Ukridge, then you could also read 'Love Amount the Chickens', which features the Ukridge character.


The other Psmith books are a growing up progression to that one. Psmith was his adopted daughter's fav so he stopped while young and beautiful like she did. Mike and Psmith is a proper YA school story which was where Wodehouse started. Psmith in the city something of a sequel. Psmith Journalists the nearest Wodehouse ever got to literature with a social point to make, definitely worth the read. Leave it to Psmith is, imho his masterpiece and the best written novel I've read. Sadly the last we hear of Psmith.

All should be out of copyright by now.
