Kid Brady Stories & A Man of Means Hardback
by P.G. Wodehouse
Part of the Everyman's Library P G WODEHOUSE series
Hardback
Description
This volume reprints two of Wodehouse’s earliest books which take the form of story sequences linked by a central character, a technique he used many times thereafter.
Delightful in themselves, they are interesting chiefly as windows on a great writer’s early evolution. In The Man of Means, he looks forward to Bertie Wooster and Ukridge, but also back to his Victorian models, in a fantastic tale of the little man struggling with fate.
When a humble clerk comes into a fortune, he embarks on a series of misadventures which suggest that wealth is not necessarily an unmixed blessing.
Here we see signs of the satirical writer Wodehouse might have become, and the spirit of Chaplin is not far away.
