Two new volumes in Overlook's beloved Collector's Wodehouse have just been published!
The White Feather tells the story of
a schoolboy who takes up boxing after shaming himself by running away from a
fight. This charming early novel (1907) by PGW plays a series of witty
variations on the standard school story of the period, balancing the minor
heroics of the action against a humorously ironic commentary.
When three
sisters from Long Island leave for a holiday in Europe, complications ensue in
a classic Wodehouse tale of mixed up lovers and impoverished aristocrats. Set
in France, Wodehouse abandons his familiar world of English country houses and
London clubs for a more sophisticated European milieu in his 1956 novel French
Leave.
