When you're in the mood for classic British humor writing, nothing can compare to the master of literary laughter, P.G. Wodehouse.

A Damsel in Distress

Paterson Frisby, for whom Berry works as a secretary, is looking for a chaperon for his American niece, Ann Moon. Berry knows that Biscuit has an Aunt Vera who will be ideal for the job, and he and Biscuit set it up, hoping for a commission. What they don't bargain for is the fact that she is prepared to become engaged to more than one man at a time . . .

Big Money

Mike on these occasions was silent and jumpy, his brow sicklied o'er with the pale cast of care. But Psmith followed his leader with the pleased and indulgent air of a father whose infant son is showing him round the garden. Psmith's attitude toward archaeological research struck a new note in the history of that neglected science. He was amiable, but patronizing. He patronized fossils, and he patronized ruins. If he had been confronted with the Great Pyramid, he would have patronized that.

Mike and Psmith

An anonymously penned novel about an incident with a Brazil nut has nobody suspecting the culprit and everybody scrambling for the royalties.
