P G Wodehouse

Leave It to Psmith P G Wodehouse

Leave it to Psmith is a masterpiece in timing and technique. Like most Wodehouse novels, it boasts of a complex story plot and a lot of humor. You can expect dark conspiracies, imposters, jewel thieves, and poets at Blandings Castle. Psmith ("the 'p' is silent") is desperate to find a new job and is willing to do anything to get out of his "fish business." Freddie offers him a new job-to steal his Aunt Constance's necklace. The conspiracy involves his uncle and the uncle's step-daughter, Phyllis, too. Freddie's uncle plans to give Lady Constance another necklace that looks like the stolen one and use the money to help Phyllis and Freddie. Freddie needs the money to marry, and Phyllis needs to help her husband get a start in life.
