This novel, later published by Penguin in 1962 as their 986th title, is a testament to Wodehouse's unparalleled storytelling prowess.## ## "The Luck of the Bodkins" is a classic Wodehouse novel that features his trademark blend of farcical situations, eccentric characters, and sparkling dialogue. The story revolves around Monty Bodkin, who also appears in other Wodehouse novels. Monty's quest to win back the love of his life, Gertrude Butterwick, leads to a series of hilarious misadventures. Set on an ocean liner travelling from England to New York, the novel is a riotous comedy of errors. The confined setting of the ship amplifies the comic potential as Monty, his friends, and a host of other colourful characters find themselves in increasingly absurd situations.## ## "The Luck of the Bodkins" is a shining example of P G Wodehouse's ability to turn ordinary situations into extraordinary comedy. The 1962 Penguin edition allowed this classic novel to reach a broader audience, ensuring that readers would continue to enjoy Wodehouse's unique brand of humour for generations. Whether you're a longtime fan of Wodehouse or new to his work, "The Luck of the Bodkins" will provide a thoroughly enjoyable reading experience. ## ## Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse, known to his readers as P G Wodehouse, was an English author and one of the most widely-read humorists of the 20th century. His work includes novels, collections of short stories, and musical comedies. Wodehouse's writing, characterised by its linguistic playfulness and unique comic metaphors, has influenced generations of writers and has left an indelible mark on English literature.## ## A Revolution in Publishing: Penguin Books, a British publishing house, was co-founded in 1935 by Allen Lane with his brothers Richard and John. It was initially a line of the publishers The Bodley Head, only becoming a separate company the following year.## ## Founding and Early Years: The idea for Penguin Books was by Allen Lane at Exeter St Davids station. Disappointed by the poor quality and high prices of the books on sale, he envisioned a world where good books were accessible. Within a year, he founded Penguin Books, initiating a paperback revolution that democratised quality literature and changed the publishing world forever. ## ## Impact on the Publishing Industry: Penguin Books revolutionised publishing in the 1930s through its inexpensive paperbacks, sold through Woolworths and other stores for sixpence. It brought high-quality fiction and non-fiction to the mass market. Its success demonstrated that large audiences existed for serious books. It also significantly affected modern British popular culture through its books concerning politics, the arts, and science.## ## Penguin Classics: The Penguin Classics series has left an indelible mark on literature. From its first affordable translation of Homer's The Odyssey in 1946 to its 21st-century redesign, the Penguin Classics series has shaped the iconic series?more than 3,000 titles published as either Penguin Classics or Modern Classics. ## #### INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: New. Condition: (see pics.) The book is in new condition. Synopsis: Monty Bodkin's pursuit of Gertude Butterwick is temporarily interrupted by his encounter with silver-screen siren Miss Lotus Blossom, who sees in him a means of restoring relations with her idol, the novelist Ambrose Tennyson. But Monty is not the only one with problems. Ambrose's brother Reggie has money troubles and Ikey Llewellyn is struggling with difficulties which would tax anyone's ingenuity, let alone his limited brain power. When the paths of these men collide, the ensuing plot complications produce a vintage Wodehouse farce involving London, New York, Hollywood and translatlantic liners. A delicious period piece from 1935.
