Psmith in the City: 978-1-60459-789-9, (Hardcover)

P. G. Wodehouse's incomparable Psmith returns in a sparkling comedy of banking, bureaucracy, social absurdity, and effortless wit. In Psmith in the City, the impeccably composed Ronald Eustace Psmith and his friend Mike Jackson leave school behind and enter the bewildering world of London business life, where routine office work soon gives way to comic misunderstandings, eccentric personalities, romantic complications, and unexpected adventure. Originally published in 1910, the novel captures Wodehouse's growing mastery of comic dialogue, light satire, and character-driven humour, contrasting the rigid routines of Edwardian banking culture with Psmith's unshakable elegance, verbal brilliance, and refusal to take social conventions entirely seriously.

Though best remembered today for Jeeves and Wooster, Wodehouse's Psmith novels occupy a distinctive place within his body of work, blending school fiction, social comedy, satire, and gentle adventure into stories filled with warmth and literary charm. Psmith himself remains one of Wodehouse's most beloved creations: calm under pressure, endlessly articulate, impeccably dressed, and possessed of supreme confidence regardless of circumstance. Filled with comic situations, memorable dialogue, eccentric characters, and affectionate observations of English social life, Psmith in the City remains a timeless classic of British humour and one of the finest examples of Wodehouse's early comic fiction.

Ideal for readers of classic British comedy, humorous fiction, literary satire, Edwardian literature, workplace comedy, and timeless English humour.
