The Little Nugget

By P. G. Wodehouse

Five years have passed since Peter Burns was handed a letter informing him that his fiancée, Audrey Blake, had abruptly left him in the midst of a complacent period of engagement. Becoming painfully aware, in the ensuing months which turned into years, that he had been so selfish a slush as to drive Audrey away entirely, Peter has dedicated himself to establishing a new life and finding a new character, one especially marked by a fervent spirit of generosity. 

In the altruism of this newfound nature, however, he has—with the help of his new fiancée, the cooly beautiful Cynthia Drassilis—spun himself into a complicated web of school-teaching and spoiled school-children, American thieves and fake British butlers, and—most spectacularly surprising—his former fiancée, the lovely Audrey Blake. 

“Nature had given me the soul of a pig, and circumstances had conspired to carry on Nature’s work.”

Sir Pelham Grenville (P. G.) Wodehouse (1881–1975) was an English author and playwright and one of the premier humorists of the twentieth century. His inimitable prose, in the words of Evelyn Waugh, “has made a world for us to live in and delight in.” Wodehouse’s hundreds of written works include the masterful Jeeves & Wooster and Blandings Castle stories.
