When Bertie Wooster becomes tangled in a complicated situation, he turns to his resourceful valet, Jeeves, for help.
The trouble which begins with Gussie Fink-Nottle wandering the streets of London dressed as Mephistopheles reaches its awful climax in his drunken speech to the boys of Market Snodsbury Grammar School. For Bertie Wooster's old friend has fallen in love with Madeline Bassett and, as usual, makes a hash of the affair until Jeeves comes to the rescue. In the meantime, Jeeves must also solve the mystery of the white mess jacket, while sorting out the lives of Bertie's cousin Angela, her mother, and her mother's French chef. In short, a normal working day for that prince among gentlemen's gentlemen in what must be a candidate for the name of the funniest novel in the English language.
It is pig stealing time in Shropshire. After winning the Fat Pig competition for two years in a row with Empress of Blandings, Lord Emsworth's ascendancy at the Agricultural Show is threathened by Sir Gregory Parsloe's new sow, Queen of Matchingham. Always keen to help, Lord Emsworth's brother Galahad plots the theft of the Parsloe pig. In retaliation, Sir Gregory's pigman, George Cyril Wellbeloved, snaffles the Empress. While these momentous events are under way, a romantic comedy unfolds at Blandings Castle whither Jerry Vail her pursued Penny Donaldson. But Penny is engaged to Orlo Vosper who pines for Gloria Salt who is engaged to Sir Gregory who rediscovers Maudje Stubbs who has charmed Lord Emsworth, who is Jerry's employer.
Nothing but trouble can ensue when Bertie Wooster's Aunt Dahlia instructs him to steal a silver jug from Totleigh Towers, home of magistrate and hell-hound, Sir Watkin Bassett. First he must face the peril of Sir Watkin's droopy daughter, Madeleine, and then the terrors of would-be Dictator, Roderick Spode and his gang of Black Shorts. But when duty calls, Bertram answers, and so there follows what he himself calls the 'sinister affair of Gussie Fink-Nottle, Madeleine Bassett, old Pop Bassett, Stiffy Byng, the Rev. H. P. ('Stinker') Pinker, the eighteenth-century cow-creamer and the small, brown, leather-covered notebook'. In a plot with more twists than an English country lane, it takes all the ingenuity of Jeeves to extract his master from the soup again.
"The Little Nugget" is a novel written by the renowned British author P. G. Wodehouse. First published in 1913, this novel is one of Wodehouse's earlier works and showcases his wit and humour. The story follows the adventures of Ogden Ford, a young and wealthy American boy known as "the Little Nugget." Ogden's unruly behaviour and penchant for mischief lead his parents to seek the help of a British nobleman, Lord Mountry, to reform their wayward son. Lord Mountry enlists the services of a resourceful and charming young man named Peter Burns to take on the task. "The Little Nugget" is a comedic exploration of the clash between American and British sensibilities, as well as the challenges of raising a mischievous child. It is filled with humorous situations, witty dialogue, and memorable characters. As with many of Wodehouse's works, "The Little Nugget" is a delightful and entertaining story that offers readers a glimpse into the world of social comedy and satire. It is a must-read for fans of Wodehouse's comedic writing and those who enjoy humorous fiction.

Confronted by burglars or belted earls, they plough serenely on with the Advent sermon or the opening of the village fete - until that is, they are swept uncontrollably into fiendish plots which only a well-disposed devil or member of the Drones Club could have contrived.
