"The Little Nugget" by P. G. Wodehouse is a comedic novel written during the early 20th century, likely in the 1910s. The story revolves around the peculiar and wealthy American Mrs. Ford and her son Ogden, nicknamed the "Little Nugget," who has a rather spoiled and unpleasant demeanor. The narrative kicks off in a London hotel, where various characters discuss plans surrounding Ogden, hinting at the chaotic events that will unfold involving kidnapping and the quest for custody. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Mrs. Ford, who is restlessly awaiting news of her son Ogden. During her interactions with Lord Mountry, we learn about her complicated past and the custody battle over Ogden, who currently resides with his father. As Mrs. Ford discusses potential plans for a yacht trip with the boy, it becomes clear that her desire to reclaim Ogden is intertwined with her emotional struggles stemming from her divorce. When Cynthia Drassilis, her friend, arrives with the news that she has successfully kidnapped Ogden from his father's house, the stage is set for an absurd and lively adventure, filled with Wodehouse's hallmark wit and whimsical characters.
