Synopsis

First published as "Mike" in 1909, this book was split into two - "Mike at Wrykyn" and "Mike and Psmith" in 1953 by Herbert Jenkins, Wodehouse's publishers, who also modernized the language. Mike is the youngest of five brothers and shows signs of being the best cricket batsman of them all.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

If Mike had been in time for breakfast that fatal Easter morning he might have gathered from the expression on his father's face, as Mr. Jackson opened the envelope containing his school report and read the contents, that the document in question was not exactly a paean of praise from beginning to end. But he was late, as usual. Mike always was late for breakfast in the holidays. When he came down on this particular morning, the meal was nearly over. Mr. Jackson had disappeared, taking his correspondence with him; Mrs. Jackson had gone into the kitchen, and when Mike appeared the thing had resolved itself into a mere vulgar brawl between Phyllis and Ella for the jam, while Marjory, recently affecting a grown-up air, looked on in a detached sort of way, as if these juvenile gambols distressed her.
