The Intrusion of Jimmy
The Intrusion of Jimmy | P. G. Wodehouse
1 post | 3 read
The course of true love-- like that of jewel heists, social climbing, making a fortune, and games of piquet-- never runs smoothly, especially when the love story is being written by the incomparable P. G. Wodehouse! In this light-as-a-feather tale of ex-crook Jimmy Pitt and his beloved Molly, the daughter of a retired policeman, all is never as it seems. The twists and turns of this early and delightful Wodehouse adventure are a treat for Wodehouse fans old and new.

The Intrusion of Jimmy | P. G. Wodehouse

I listened to this in installments on the Classic Tales podcast, wonderfully read by B. J. Harrison. It was delightful, as all of Wodehouse‘s pre-war work is. Young Jimmy pretends to be a master burglar, ends up breaking into the police chief‘s house, further complicates things by falling in love with the Chief‘s daughter. Hijinx ensue on both sides of the Atlantic. Apparently this has also been published under the title A Gentleman of Leisure.
