Bright, witty, and full of amusement, Ukridge is a collection of ten short stories by English author P. G. Wodehouse. Featuring the title character, Stanley Featherstonehaugh Ukridge, these short stories, narrated by Ukridge's school boy friend Corky Corcoran, detail the foolish adventures that happen to these two longtime friends. Ukridge, jobless and a bit of a scoundrel, has plenty of shocking, almost wicked, ideas to make a fortune without forcing him to settle down. While optimistic about his endeavors, his friend Corky is always less enthusiastic but willing to help with Ukridge's outrageous schemes.
With stories such as Ukridge's Dog College and The Debut of Battling Billson, there is no true evilness in Ukridge's plans, but a sense of innocence and amusement in a character who is just afraid to grow up. P. G. Wodehouse has written Ukridge in over fifteen short stories and has featured the charming opportunist in one novel, and many readers adore his quick wit and melodrama. Find yourself laughing at every turned page as you read of Ukridge and all of his failings in trying to make a quick buck.
