Ukridge

Front Cover
Harry N. Abrams, Sep 15, 2003 - Fiction - 272 pages
If Stanley Featherstonehaugh Ukridge had a fiver for every dodgy scheme he has 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 Visionary. In ours, he is English literature's most delightful chancer and one of P.G. Wodehouse's greatest comic creations: charming, ambitious, persuasive, optimistic and almost always disasterous.
