P G Wodehouse

Piccadilly Jim - From the Manor Wodehouse Collection, a Selection from the Early Works of P. G. Wodehouse P G Wodehouse

The novel features Ogden Ford and his mother Nesta, both previously encountered in The Little Nugget. Nesta has remarried, to the diffident, baseball-loving millionaire Mr Peter Pett, and Ogden remains spoilt and obnoxious. The story takes its title from the charismatic character of James "Jimmy" Crocker, Nesta's nephew and a reforming playboy. 'Jim' is called upon to assist in the kidnapping of Ogden, amongst much confusion involving imposters, crooks, detectives, butlers, aunts etc. - all in the name of romance.
