P G Wodehouse was a British writer known for his comic style. Besides writing short stories and novels he also wrote plays and musical lyrics. The Mike and Psmith books include: Mike (carved into Mike at Wrykyn, and Mike and Psmith); Psmith in the City; Psmith, Journalist, and Leave it to Psmith. These school stories are a joy to read. Mike Jackson is the youngest son of a famous cricketing family. Mike's two brothers are showing promise as good players. When Mike arrives at Wrykyn, his cricketing talent and love of adventure bring him success and trouble. Later in the book Mike is due to take over as cricket captain when his father moves him to a different school. On arrival at Sedleigh, he meets Rupert Psmith, who is also new and from the superior school of Eton. The two eschew cricket and indulge in all manner of high jinks and adventures.
