Books like Young Men in Spats

Reading Wodehouse is always a perfect antidote for depression, stress and boredom, as the wonderful world that the author creates in his stories through charming narrations involving loveable characters and hilarious happenings always acts as a magical restorative to the frayed nerves. Nothing disastrous or bad happens in the landscape of Wodehouse narratives and they always fill the reader with a healthy dose of cheerfulness. Young Men in Spats can be seen as a fine example for this timeless comedy and the clean yet delightful humor that where a feature of P.G. Wodehouse stories. Originally published in 1936, this compilation of eleven short stories is loaded with enough wit and signature Wodehouse style of narration, which will engulf the reader in a blanket of cozy comfort.This collection, which contains eight Eggs, Beans And Crumpets tales featuring the members of the Drones club and three Angler’s Rest stories featuring Mr. Mulliner has some of the most hilarious & recognizable characters created by Wodehouse – other than Bertie Wooster and Jeeves – making their appearance. One of my favorite Wodehouse characters, Uncle Fred along with his nephew Pongo Twistleton makes their debut in one of the short stories featuring the Drones club in this anthology. The short stories in this anthology present sidesplitting accounts of upper-class characters getting muddled in preposterous situations often involving monetary issues, pursuit of love, eccentric uncles and unsentimental aunts. Like other Wodehouse tales these tales brim with excellent usage of verbal humor, engaging metaphors, fascinating descriptions of the characters and ridiculously funny situations which will leave the reader laughing in a blissful state of mind. Tales like ‘The Amazing Hat Mystery’, ‘Goodbye to all cats’, ‘Uncle Fred Flits By’ and ‘Archibald and the masses’ can be regarded as some of the very best short stories ever written by Wodehouse.If you are looking for a book that is meant for light-hearted reading with a heavy dose of humor then Young Men in Spats will not disappoint you.
