Leave It to Psmith

A Delightful Romp of Romance, Mischief, and Mayhem

P. G. Wodehouse at his most effervescent delivers a plot so tangled and a hero so charming that even the author seems delighted to see what happens next.

Ronald Psmith (the "P" is silent, as is the "s" in "pshrimp") is a man of refined tastes, modest means, and infinite self-regard. When he mistakes a country house for a burglar's target and an emerald necklace for a worthy cause, he finds himself entangled with the beautiful, practical Eve Halliday; her eccentric employer, the poet Ralston McTodd; and a cast of absent-minded aristocrats, irritable aunts, and a stolen scarab. What follows is a comedy of mistaken identities, borrowed poetry, and the firm belief that everything will work out splendidly—so long as someone leaves it to Psmith.

This is Wodehouse at his most effortlessly witty: a celebration of the amateur, the unflappable, and the quietly brilliant. Leave It to Psmith reminds us that confidence, properly deployed, is indistinguishable from genius.
