Product Description
Synopsis
There seems no reason why the courtship of a wealthy bachelor like George Finch should not run sweetly to its natural conclusion. But George has fallen in love with Molly Waddington. And Mrs Waddington prefers the idea of an aristocrat to the reality of George, whom she suspects is half-witted.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Small Guy, 16 Jul 2004
P.G. Wodehouse wrote about 9,000 books and no one can have read them all, so I'm not surprised that this book hasn't been reviewed yet. Wodehouse adapted The Small Bachelor from a very succesful play that he wrote. It's set in New York during the prohibition years and the basic jist of the thing is that George Finch a shy, would-be artist (would be if he wasn't so bad at it) falls in love with the daughter of a well to do, pussy-whipped high-flyer who dreams of living out in the wild-west where men are men etc. The prospective mother-in-law (the pussy-whipper) has other plans (in true Wodehousian fashion) and there's also the fact that George's valet is an ex-con whose fiancee (another ex-con) won't go straight but manages to land George in the soup by pretending she is his ex-lover when gate crashing his wedding (in an attempt to steal a necklace of pearls, a wedding present).
Enter level headed, self-help-pamphlet-writing Hamilton Beamish. If anyone can sort it out, then he can (he's a bit of a precursor to Jeeves). But he falls in love with a woman who gets something in her eye, who turns out to be a fortune teller, the fortune teller of the pussy whipper, no less.
