The Luck Of The Bodkins
by P.G. Wodehouse

Read November 2007
Copy borrowed from Ramsey County Public Library, White Bear Lake branch
Essay written January 26th, 2008

Ah, Wodehouse. Delightfully silly without being ludicrous. A comedy of errors. What is there to write about one Wodehouse story that is any different from any other Wodehouse story though? Not much. That's why we love him. Great fun.

I read a very old hardback copy of this book, maybe from the 1950s or 1960 at the latest. Perhaps earlier. Paper dust jacket still preserved by the plastic sheathing and the library's crack mending staff. Yellowing, but beautiful. The interior pages smelled delicious.
