Featuring nineteen sweet and humorous works of short fiction, P.G
Wodehouse's The Man Upstairs and Other Stories is filled with
depictions of peculiar and sometimes disastrous methods of
courtship. In Something to Worry About a young woman named Sally is
forced to live with her aunt and uncle after her film obsession is
deemed "unladylike". When the young men of the village hear of
this, they begin to shower Sally with gifts and attention, all
hoping to be her suitor, but none are more persistent than the shy
neighbor boy, Tom. Deep Waters follows a playwright and skilled
swimmer named George who, despite his career success, goes to the
pier to pout. There, he notices Mary, who is swimming in the water
below. In an effort to keep her in his sight, George falls off the
pier into the water, and Mary swims to his rescue. When they get
back to shore, Mary offers George swimming lessons, which George
decides to accept despite his skills in order to spend time with
Mary. Finally, the title story, The Man Upstairs depicts Annette, a
short-tempered composer who is bothered by a knocking on her
apartment ceiling. After her investigation, she begins a close
friendship with her upstairs neighbor, who is an artist, unaware
that he is being dishonest about his identity. With the classic and
witty prose of P.G Wodehouse, each story within The Man Upstairs
and Other Stories is carefully crafted with humor and sentiment.
While providing a simple and fun reading experience, The Man
Upstairs and Other Stories also explores the culture of British
high society, allowing contemporary readers a glimpse into a
privileged historic class. This edition of The Man Upstairs and
Other Stories by P.G Wodehouse features a new, eye-catching cover
design and is printed in an easy-to-read font, making the classic
both readable and modern.
