About this ebook
Stanley Featherstonehaugh Ukridge tries every way of making money, from writing political slogans to promoting a boxer to opening a college for dogs. In his own eyes, Ukridge is a Great Man and a Visionary. In ours, he is one of Wodehouse's greatest comic creations, delightfully hilarious but woefully hapless.
