If Stanley Featherstonehaugh Ukridge had a fiver for every dodgy scheme he has ever floated,he would be a rich man indeed. In these ten stories he tries every way of making money,from writing political slogans to opening a college for dogs. In his own eyes,Ukridge is a Great Man and a Visionary. In ours,he is English literature's most delightful chancer and one of Wodehouse's greatest comic creations: charming,ambitious,persuasive,optimistic and almost always disastrous. Sometimes supported by his rich Aunt Julia - but more often expelled from her house for his sins - he moves through the landscape in his eternal yellow mackintosh,dreaming of riches and borrowing shillings,an innocent abroad in a hostile world.
