Ukridge by P. G. Wodehouse; Unabridged MP3 Audio Book; Narrator Jonathan Cecil

Ukridge is a man huge on ideas and short of cash. Take, for example, the time when Ukridge sets up an insurance syndicate with some pals, the success of which depends on one of them breaking a leg. Or his attempts to manage Battling Billson, a boxer who has his own idea of a good fight. There are those occasions where Ukridge has irritated his Aunt Julia more than a wasp in her glove, and those when the cash-flow has sadly dried up to less than a trickle. Down he may be, but Ukridge, complete with his yellow mackintosh and flapping ears, is seldom out.

P.G. Wodehouse (1881-1975), an England-born journalist and novelist, lived in several different countries before settling in the United States after WWII. In a career spanning over sixty years, he wrote more than ninety books. During the 1920s, Wodehouse collaborated with Broadway legends like Cole Porter and George Gershwin on musicals, and in the 1930s, he expanded his repertoire by writing for motion pictures. He was honored with a knighthood in 1975.
