Mike: A Public School Story

by P. G. WODEHOUSE (1881 - 1975)

14 - Ch. 38 The Fire Brigade Meeting, Ch. 39 Achilles Leaves His Tent

This novel introduces the characters Mike Jackson and Psmith, who are featured in several of Wodehouse’s later works. It shows how the two characters first met each other as teenagers at boarding school. As Psmith doesn’t appear until about halfway through this book, it was later released as two separate books, Mike at Wrykyn and Mike and Psmith. There’s lots of cricket, but you don’t need to understand the game to enjoy the antics of these public school boys as they "rag" each other and the authorities.-Summary by Debra Lynn
