Publisher Description

When the Little Nugget, alias of thirteen-year-old Ogden Ford, bulgy, rude, chain-smoking son of an American millionaire, arrives at Sanstead House School, the fun has just begun. Mr. Peter Burns, a none-too-dedicated schoolmaster engaged by snobbish Mr. Abney to educate his handpicked pupils, soon finds himself and his enraptured class at the mercy of an American gunman—and at the beginning of a series of truly mind-boggling adventures—in a delicious Wodehouse tale of suspense, excitement, and romance.

"After puzzling over the title every time I scanned a list of Wodehouse books, I finally decided to read this book just to see what "the little nugget" could be. I ended up enjoying the narrator and seeing the epiphanies he reached during the story. "

— Christina (4 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • “Davidson nearly drawls as he moves from one situation to another, sharply distinguishing the male characters, from a pompous schoolmaster to the obnoxious nugget himself. His rendition of an American thug is particularly funny, Chicago and the Bronx combined. Great fun!”

    — AudioFile

  • “Wodehouse’s idyllic world can never stale. He will continue to release future generations from captivity that may be more irksome than our own. He has made a world for us to live in and delight in.”

    — Evelyn Waugh

  • “Pure word music.”

    — Douglas Adams

    " Surprisingly angst-ridden, especially toward the end. It's always good to bump into Ogden Ford, though: I'm glad he's a recurring Wodehouse character. "

    " Hilarious tale of a spoiled fat little rich kid and the man on duty to protect him from would be kidnappers, along with love stories. Wodehouse is a great writer. "

    " Rather more rambling and unfunny than usual Wodehouse, but I was really in the spirit for a more emotional read, and this was it. "

    " The least funny of all the Wodehouse books I've read, and though the plot is tighter than some, there just wasn't enough to keep me invested in the ending. But if you haven't read anything by Wodehouse you should--and it should be Hot Water, not The Little Nugget. "

    " You can't go wrong with a P. G. Wodehouse novel. There is his usual cast of Brits, including the butler. Of course, the Americans are presented as cliches. But, still fun to read. "
