Celebrating 120 years of P. G. Wodehouse with his very first novel.'What a mad thing to go and do. Jolly sporting,though.'Suspicion abounds at St Austin's School when two silver trophies,or'pots',are stolen from the cricket pavilion. Jim Thomson,a talented sportsman who due to an unfortunate series of coincidences could be thought to be the burglar,resolves to clear his name. Featuring a man from Scotland Yard,chases through the woods and an exasperated headmaster,Wodehouse's first novel is a paean to his beloved,idyllic late Victorian schooldays,punctuated by bouts of gentlemanly sport and comic escapades. All the hallmarks of what makes Wodehouse the greatest comic writer of all are in evidence here,in a spiffing read for Wodehouse aficionados and the uninitiated alike.
