Publisher Description
He was a gossip columnist’s dream. Piccadilly Jim’s life was a collage of broken promises and drunken brawls.
And Jim’s straight-laced Victorian aunt was not amused. So, she decided to reform him. Unfortunately, her reform project started at a time when Jim had fallen in love and had already decided to reform himself. Thus, life became complicated.
Jim pretends to be himself—a beautiful display of Wodehousean logic; hilarious indeed!

“Davidson has the urbane, British intonation that goes hand in hand with the protagonist of Piccadilly Jim, a ‘hale-fellow-well-met’ American…His light characterizations of the British male uppercrust come off well…Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”
