Piccadilly Jim Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piccadilly_Jim Etext produced by Jim Tinsley HTML file produced by David Widger "Piccadilly Jim" by P. G. Wodehouse is a humorous novel written during the early 20th century, known for its wit and engaging characters. The story revolves around the titular character, Jimmy Crocker, a young man who has become notorious in London society for his wild behavior. The narrative portrays the eccentricities of family life and societal expectations through multiple characters, including Mr. Peter Pett, his overbearing wife Nesta, and other colorful personalities who navigate the complexities of relationships amidst comedic chaos. The opening of "Piccadilly Jim" introduces readers to Mr. Peter Pett, a financier struggling to find peace in his chaotic home environment, dominated by his wife Nesta and her entourage of aspiring writers. As Mr. Pett expresses his frustrations about his stepson Ogden, who embodies the precocious and irritating traits of youth, the stage is set for a clash of wills. The scene shifts as Mr. Pett's thoughts lead him to contemplate Jimmy Crocker, his distant relative, who is causing a stir in society back in New York. As the story unfolds, comically escalating situations emerge, ultimately hinting at a plot involving family intervention and misadventures in both London and America, setting the tone for a delightful romp through Wodehouse's trademark farcical storytelling.
