1.0 out of 5 stars Unfortunate retelling of 'Psmith Journalist', 20 Oct 2007
This review is from: The Prince and Betty (Hardcover)
Wodehouse's American publishers elected not to publish `Psmith, Journalist' in American, it could be that with it having no love interest they considered that it jarred with his output at that time, it could be they considered the references to cricket and the MCC would confuse an American audience. Anyway not to be refused Wodehouse took another magazine serial he had recently published, `A Prince for Hire', and blended the two stories together. Blend is really not the right word as the two books are a little ill-fitting and make take the implausible plot of `Psmith, Journalist' to new heights or more aptly further depths.

Psmith old Etonian becomes Smith Yale man but with still all the eccentricities of the English dandy down to the monocle. Billy Windsor becomes John Maude, Mediterranean Prince with Betty Scobell as his love interest.

This really is the worst book Wodehouse published and readers are advised to read `Psmith, Journalist' and put pursuing this novel out of their minds.
