Introducing some of P.G Wodehouse's adored reoccurring characters
and settings, Something New marks the beginning of the adventures
at Blanding Castle. When Freddie and Aline get engaged, both are
happy with the arrangement. Both from wealthy and prominent
families, the engagement ensures them a higher social status.
However, Freddie becomes paranoid that old letters he sent to an ex
would endanger the engagement if unearthed. Desperate, Freddie
hires a shady fixer to recover the letters. Meanwhile, J. Preston
Peters, an American billionaire and Aline's father, invites
Freddie's father, the Earl of Emsworth, to visit his home. There,
the two men make small talk while Peters attempts to impress
Emsworth with his vast beetle collection. But passive-aggressive
conflict arises when Emsworth accidently slips Peters' most prized
beetle in his pocket, unintentionally stealing it. Though Peters
suspects the other man, he is reluctant to confront him, in fears
that it would threaten their children's relationship. Instead, he
advertises a reward for its return, inspiring a group of greedy
thieves to find the beetle for themselves. With battling fathers, a
group of thieves, a shady fixer, and a missing beetle, Aline and
Freddie struggle to preserve their engagement. Considered to be one
of P.G Wodehouse's best works, Something New is a comic caricature
of aristocratic life. Originally published in Great Britain in
1915, the novel earned such impressive commercial success that it
was reprinted for American audiences as well with minor changes to
appeal to the demographic. With amusing and lovable characters,
Something New delivers a light-hearted but exciting narrative that
keeps audiences entertained even over one-hundred years after its
first publication. Now presented in a stylish, easy-to-read font
and with a fun, eye-catching cover design, this edition of
Something New by P.G Wodehouse is catered to accommodate modern
readers.
