Publisher Description

If Stanley Featherstonehaugh Ukridge had a fiver for every dodgy scheme he had ever floated, he would be a very rich man indeed. In these ten stories he tries every way of making money, from writing political slogans to opening a college for dogs. In his own eyes, Ukridge is a great man and a visionary. In ours, he is English literature’s most delightful chancer and one of Wodehouse’s greatest comic creations: charming, ambitious, persuasive, optimistic, and almost always disastrous.

"Ukridge is a lesser beast in the Wodehouse bestiary. This is a series of short stories. Similar to PSmith but a bit more capitalistic and always working on new schemes. Good short stories. "

    " Reading the carefully contained zaniness of Wodehouse is a joy - each phrase perfectly turned, each plot point flawlessly executed. And funny to boot! While this book did not impress me as much as the others I've read I'm still a fan and will continue to add Wodehouse to my list of "must reads". "

    " Ukridge is a jerk and hard to like compared to Bertie Wooster. Being a likable silly-ass is better than not as far as your reading public is concerned. Wodehouse probably figured that out soon after writing this. "

    " I loved Ukridge! I read 7-8 Jeeves books before and don't think I could enjoy a character as much as Jeeves or Berty but Ukridge is brilliant. The same as Psmith and Piccadilly Jim also "

    " We have many a living Ukridges in today's corporations. It takes a Wodehouse to recognize their inner struggles and bring to light their tribulations. "

    " Not as funny as Bertie Wooster (what on earth is?) or even Mulliner or the Blandings Castle stories, but still plenty of amusement for Wodehouse fans. Ukridge, the main character, is forever scheming to get rich quick -- his failures are often magnificent. "

About P. G. Wodehouse

Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (1881–1975) was an English humorist who wrote novels, short stories, plays, poems, song lyrics, and numerous pieces of journalism. He was highly popular throughout a career that lasted more than seventy years, and his many writings continue to be widely read. He is best known for his novels and short stories of Bertie Wooster and his manservant Jeeves and for his settings of English upper-class society of the pre– and post–World War I era. He lived in several countries before settling in the United States after World War II. During the 1920s, he collaborated with Broadway legends like Cole Porter and George Gershwin on musicals and, in the 1930s, expanded his repertoire by writing for motion pictures. He was honored with a knighthood in 1975.
