New Short Stories Collections Coming from P. G Wodehouse

P. G Wodehouse is timelessly classic, funny, and incredibly entertaining so it’s hardly surprising that desire for his work has continued long after his death. This week with the news that Hutchinson/Arrow has renewed the publishing license for Wodehouse’s work for a further ten years is more news about some new short stories coming this year!

Fans were already treated to the publications of Highballs for Breakfast (US – UK) late last year, a collection of passages dedicated to drinking taken from the best of Wodehouse. It was an instant bestseller last Christmas and did very well in the literary gift market.

Now Hutchinson is to publish a series of four pocket-sized paperbacks they’re calling ‘pick-me-ups’ for “those moments when you’re in need of a small dose of joy”. Each book will contain three of the best Wodehouse short stories and are all available for pre-order in time for Christmas now. The titles in the set The Amazing Hat Mystery, Buck-U-Uppo, Goodbye to All Cats and The Smile that Wins are all among Wodehouse’s most whacky and absurd work, featuring famous characters Jeeves and Wooster, Ukridge, and Mr Mulliner, the oldest member of the golf club.

The books go on sale in November and will be sold as £4.99 paperbacks in the UK. A later Kindle release is planned for the US market slightly later.
