Sinopsis

The first half of this story, introduces Michael "Mike" Jackson. Mike is the youngest son of a renowned cricketing family. Mike's brother Joe is a successful first-class player, while another brother, Bob, is on the verge of his school team. When Mike arrives at Wrykyn himself, his cricketing talent and love of adventure bring him success and trouble in equal measure. The second part, takes place two years later. Mike, due to take over as cricket captain at Wrykyn, is withdrawn from the school by his father and sent to a lesser school, called Sedleigh. On arrival at Sedleigh, he meets the eccentric Rupert Psmith, another new arrival from the superior school of Eton. Becoming fast friends, the two eschew cricket and indulge in all manner of high-jinks and adventures.

Acerca del autor

P. G. Wodehouse was an English novelist, short-story writer, lyricist, and comic master whose work helped define twentieth-century humorous fiction. Born in 1881, Pelham Grenville Wodehouse began his career as a school-story writer and journalist before developing the extraordinary comic world for which he became famous: Jeeves and Wooster, Blandings Castle, Psmith, Ukridge, the Oldest Member golf stories, and many other linked characters, clubs, households, and comic predicaments. His fiction is marked by verbal elegance, intricate plotting, social absurdity, and a distinctive lightness of touch that disguises highly disciplined craftsmanship.Wodehouse's early school novels, including Mike and Psmith, show the emergence of his comic method before the full flowering of his later series. In Rupert Psmith, Wodehouse created one of his first great comic personalities: languid, articulate, self-invented, and serenely disruptive. Across a long career that included novels, stories, theatre work, and musical comedy, Wodehouse became one of the most influential comic writers in English, admired for his style, timing, and enduring ability to turn manners, misunderstanding, and social performance into lasting comedy.
