P. G. Wodehouse: The Man with Two Left Feet and Other Stories (Paperback, 2003, Wildside Press)

Review of 'The Man with Two Left Feet and Other Stories' on 'Goodreads'

This is the first book I've read by Wodehouse, and it is obvious I've been missing a lot. This is a nice collection of short stories, and even though they are all engaging there is not one that I found amazingly good.

"Bill the Bloodhound" and "The Making of Mac's" are not as funny as entertaining; "Extricating Young Gussie" introduces Bertie and a lot of funny situations; "Wilton's Holiday" and "A Sea of Troubles" find characters in weird and complicated situations. "Crowned Heads" and "One Touch of Nature" are sort of forgettable; "At Geisenheimer's", "Black for Luck", "The Romance of an Ugly Policeman" and "The Man with Two Left Feet" are all endearing. Finally, "The mixer" is adorable!
