Leave It to Psmith
Monocled, unflappable, and permanently short of funds, Ronald Eustace Psmith answers a newspaper advertisement offering to do anything, honest or otherwise, provided it is not dull. The reply drops him straight into Blandings Castle, where a diamond necklace is about to be stolen and where Psmith cheerfully passes himself off as a Canadian poet to stay close to the lovely Eve Halliday. Muddled aristocrats, real thieves, a peevish secretary, and the dreamy Lord Emsworth all collide in one of Wodehouse’s most beautifully engineered farces. Published in 1923, it was the last of the Psmith novels and the book that first brought that hero to Blandings. The plotting is a marvel and the jokes never flag. Enjoy it as a free PDF and EPUB edition.
