I have always enjoyed Bertie and Wooster, and was not disappointed by this book of stories on other topics and characters. Lots of fun. ( )

All of Wodehouse’s books are funny and will lift your spirits. This one is a collection of short stories. My favorites were “The Man Upstairs,” “Deep Waters” and “Pots O’ Money.” Most of the Wodehouse I’ve read previously has been about parasitic wealthy people (mostly the Jeeves books) and this was the first time I read some stories about starving artists and ordinary people. I slightly prefer reading about the idle rich or about golfers, because it’s so unreal. Seeing charming twists of fate happen to poor characters is in too stark contrast with real life, where that never happens. ( )

THE MAN UPSTAIRS and other stories
Wodehouse, P.G.

Published by Penguin 1958

This is a collection of short stories written very early in P. G. Wodehouse's career, and as a collection it's hard to give a fair overall judgment. Some are good, some are less good. None is as good as the later Jeeves and Wooster stories.

I would not recommend this unless you are interested in consuming all of the authors produces literary works. ( )
