Piccadilly Jim

Jimmy Crocker’s life, after his father marries into money, is a succession of late nights and painful mornings. However, his past as a writer for the New York Chronicle comes back to haunt him when he falls in love with the very girl whose poetry collection he lambasted in his column: Ann Chester. Hoping to save his bacon and put himself in a place where he can win the heart of this wonderful girl, he adopts a fake name in order to circumvent her loathing for “Piccadilly Jim.” 

Before one can even think to utter Jack Robinson, Jimmy is—in classic Wodehouse fashion—entangled in a web of paternal butlers, aristocratic aunts, identity crises, an attempted kidnapping, and a prototype explosive.
